Not being a windows person, I don't know if the \Q\E quotemeta that marinersk is suggesting will have problems when passed to the windows shell, but I'm fairly certain that there would be at least some risk that you might eventually need to include a character that causes some pain due to shell escaping. Thus, I beg you consider doing it the long way.
my $file = "foo.c";
rename "sample.csv", "sample.csv.bak" or die "Error backing up sample.
+csv: $!";
open my $IN, "<", "sample.csv.bak" or die "Error reading sample.csv
+.bak: $!";
open my $OUT, ">", "sample.csv" or die "Error writing to sample.
+csv: $!";
while (defined(my $line = <$IN>)) {
$line =~ s/\Q$file\E/$file,=SUM(B$x:B$y)/;
print $OUT $line;
}

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
