[Denver-pm] Text::CSV not parsing embedded commas?

[Robert L. Harris]

So I found out WHY the idiot put the ' $_ =~ s/"//;' in the script.  I
still get to beat him for doing it without telling us, but the 'why' is
legitimate.

Change the value of $_ to this:

$_=  file1,field2,field3,"more text, in this field 4,field5,field6

( Field 4 generaly contains user input which is quoted, but it is
truncated.  If the user input is > than that fiels will be missing the
final closing quotes. )

Now I have no idea how to compensate for that.
