dbetz has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Normally I would use split on ',', but that will not work because of the comma embedded within certain fields. Is there a "perl" way to parse this into its proper fields?

"R", "2164", "27-2164", "270102", "Add Terminal Server to John, Jane, and George's PC's", "3/13/00", "3/27/00", "00/00/00", "02:00:00", "Jane Doe", " 3 - Released", "Jane Doe"

Edited by davido: Added code tags and more legible formatting.
