Following up to my own message here.

I'm sure this isn't the final solution, but I discovered that 
changing the EOL characters to UNIX format in the input file fixes 
the problem. Changing the "csv_eol=\r" portion has the effect of 
allowing SELECTion of all records or only the first record from the 
file, as long as the file is in UNIX EOL format.

I stumbled across this fix by making sure the example in the 
DBD-CSV-0.1022 README would work correctly. That was based on a UNIX 
/etc/passwd file. Leaving the file in UNIX EOL worked fine, switching 
it to Mac EOL brought about the previous behavior.
