split /["']/ should work. It is possible that your data only contains
something that looks like ". Try running this on the file:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
while (<>) {
for my $char (grep { $_ > 127 } map ord, split //) {
printf "%d is %c\n", $char, $char;
}
}
It will print out any characters that are not in the ASCII set. If
one of them turns out to look like " then that is your culprit.
