Thanks for your reply.

The first error I got is:

Missing right curly or square bracket at -e line 1, at end of line
syntax error at -e line 1, at EOF
Execution of -e aborted due to compilation errors.

So I added the right curly bracket at the end like this:

Code:
perl -ne '@record=split/\|/;$record{$record[0]}=join "|", $_; _END_ {for (sort keys %record){print $record{$_}};}' file.csv

So then I get this error:

Can't call method "_END_" without a package or object reference at -e line 1, <> line 1.

I must say I have no experience with perl and I'm pretty new to unix as well. Still I wonder if there is a way to change the way of output of the initial data in the first place. Since the grep command actually works fine when I manually hit enter after all the lines.
