The output from reports/cat_issues_top.pl is *NOT* csv; it is DSV (delimiter
separated values) with the option of using commas as delimiters... and the
delimiters aren't properly escaped.

To illustrate the point

1/ Check out an item whose title contains a comma.
2/ Go to Home [34m~@� Reports [34m~@� Most-circulated items
3/ Select a date range containing today's date
4/ Select the "To a file" radio button, and use comma (,) as the delimiter.
5/ Click Submit

Open the file in the spreadsheet program of your choice. Note that the title
containing the comma spans two columns, because it was not properly quoted.

If the report is going to use CSV as a file extension, it should be exported
using Text::CSV_XS, which properly handles CSV export.
