Recursively search the string from a column in no. of files
i have a file named keyword.csv(contains around 8k records) which contains a no. of columns.
The 5th column contains all the keywords.
I want to recursively search these keywords in all .pl files(around 1k) and display the filename....Afterthat i will use the filename and some of the column from the keyword.csv to update the database.

I am using below code...but it is not working as keyword.csv contains a no of columns...

find . -type f -name "*.pl" | xargs fgrep -f keyword.csv

Could you please let me know how to handle it.
Thank you in advance.

APROPOS(1)						    BSD General Commands Manual 						APROPOS(1)

NAME

     apropos, whatis -- keyword search whatis documentation databases

SYNOPSIS

     apropos [-d] keyword ...
     whatis [-d] keyword ...

DESCRIPTION

     The apropos utility searches a set of databases looking for documentation matching each keyword and displays the results.	The whatis utility
     does the same search but only on complete words.

     -d  Print extra debugging information.

     The keyword is simply passed to grep(1) allowing for extended regular expression matches.

ENVIRONMENT

     The following environment variables affect the execution of apropos:

     MANLOCALES, MANPATH, PATH
	    Used to find the location of the whatis database files. See manpath(1) for additional information.

     PAGER  Program used to display files.  If unset, more -s is used.

DIAGNOSTICS

     The apropos utility exits 0 if a keyword matched and 1 if no keywords are matched or no whatis databases are found.
