Hi Raja, thanks for the code and it works really well to my expectation.

---------- Post updated at 12:06 AM ---------- Previous update was at 12:01 AM ----------

Also can you help me understand the code Raja. Especially what is this assignment does

$\ = "\n";
$" = ",";

I just trying to understand it would be helpful if you can explain in nutshell. Thanks again

If you process cell by cell (column by column), you can call isquoted() to determine if you need to print quotes. You can print the stuff ahead and before each row in the row loop. You can print stuff before and after the table in the main.

Check this to understand $\ and$"

So, you may be able to configure row and column headers and separators so you can let print do the cell by cell, neat!

uc is as simple as it can get,

Code:
$ perl -e 'print uc(ASkdslkaEKsknSWKW),"\n"'
ASKDSLKAEKSKNSWKW


For your script, you need to do this
Code:
#      print OUT "{@arr}\,";   
        print OUT "{",uc("@arr"),"}\,";
