Just for interest, here's the same approach in Perl 6:

  use v6;

  my regex fields { \" <( .*? )> \" | <-[,"]>* }

  my $input  = open  'input.csv', :r;
  my $output = open 'output.tff', :w;

  for $input.lines {
      next unless /<fields>* % ','/;
      $output.print: @<fields>.join(chr 31) ~ chr 30;
  }

  $output.close;

That's not the shortest way to do it in Perl 6, but it's closest to the Perl 5 example above.

A shorter and more Perl6-ish version might be:

  my regex fields { \" <( .*? )> \" | <-[,"]>* }

  lines open 'input.csv'
    ==> map({@<fields>.join(chr 31) ~ chr 30 if /<fields>* % ','/})
    ==> spurt('output.tff');

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
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).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
