I have a realy large file like this.
1,12,T,
2,13,B,
3,14,T,
4,15,B,

I want to use the 2nd and 3th column and put it into a hash like

with the 2nd column being the keys and the 3th column being the values.

This is what i have but i doesn't work!

open (data, 'data.csv');
my $hash_data = <data>;
my @hash_data = split (/,/, $hash_data);
@hash_Key = $hash_Data[1];
@hash_Values = $hash_Data[2];
%hash_data =($hash_Key => $hash_Values);
print %hash_data;

You could try something like

open DATA, "data.csv";

my %hash;

while( <DATA> ) {

	@elements = split /,/, $_;

	if( $elements[1] ne '' ) {
		$hash{ $elements[1] } = $elements[2];
	}
}

Thanks this works!

Just another possibility:

open(DATA, "<", "data.csv") or die $!;

my %hash;

%hash = ( %hash, (split(/,/, $_))[1,2] ) while ( <DATA> );
