wp-store-locator-csv fatal error on PHP v8.1

Testing a clone of our website using PHP v8.1, and the add-on plugin “wp-store-locator-csv” throws fatal errors.

PHP Fatal error: Array and string offset access syntax with curly
braces is no longer supported in /var/www/html/wp-content/plugins/wp-store-locator-csv/admin/libraries/parsecsv.lib.php on line 1046

I tried to fix all of the instances, replacing {} with [] ( 1046 was the last one ), then it threw a different fate error. End of the line for me.
