I have such a script for AOLserver Tcl that does all the work. But it
requires a working AOLserver/PostgreSQL installation, which will take
longer to set up than a simple perl script would take to be written.
The hard part is the CSV parsing -- creating the table and filling in
the data is easy in comparison, especially in the Pg perl interface.
