What about :
push @str, (defined $1 ? $1 : $2)
while ($string =~ s/^(?:""|"(.*?[^\\])"|(\S+))\s*//);
# !!! Destroys the $string !!!
This code allows you to escape the doublequote by a backslash.

There is a reason for living. There must be. I've seen it somewhere.
It's just that in the mess on my table ... and in my brain.
I can't find it.
