First you need to parse the CSV, using the standard library.
Then you need to attribute some sort of semantic meaning to it.  I'd do
this by arranging it into data structures.
Then you would convert it to yaml, again using the standard library.

Here is an example, tested with ruby 1.8.7.

It converts a CSV database into an array of maps, and then serializes
it to YAML.
