I don't have a shell access to my client's shared server, so I can't do it using perl/bash. Yes, I'll try this with PHP instead.

you could upload the file to your server and do a mysql_import (I assume it's tab/comma delimited).

PHP can call system commands, so you could do system("Mysql import ...(file)...").

more info about the command here: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/mysqlimport.html

Yes, I am familiar with that, thank you @rick888.
