I'm new at this, so I'll jump in early.  That way, the pros can correct me
or show me up after the fact.  ;-)

This should work, if you know the input is going to be well behaved:

	s/","/";"/g;

(I don't think you have to escape the quotes, but I haven't actually tested
it.) 
If ever got "one",",","two" you'd be in trouble.  (I think)

I'm eager to see a more robust solution.
