[Solved] Perl Question - split function with csv file

Hi all,

I have a csv file that appears as follows:

Code:
,2013/03/26,2012/12/26,4,1,"2017/09/26,5.75%","2017/09/26,1,2018/09/26,1,2019/09/26,1,2020/09/26,1,2021/09/26,1",,,2012/12/26,

now when i use the split function like this:

Code:
my @f  = split/,/;

the split function will split the data that is within the ".

What I need to do is still split based on a "," but not look at the "," that are in the quotes.

I'm pretty stumped here. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Code:
#! /usr/bin/perl
use Text::ParseWords "quotewords";
open F, "< file";

while (<F>) {
    chomp;
    @new = quotewords(",", 0, $_);
    for (@new) { print "$_ || " }
    print "\n";
}

close F;

Code:
$ ./test.pl
 || 2013/03/26 || 2012/12/26 || 4 || 1 || 2017/09/26,5.75% || 2017/09/26,1,2018/09/26,1,2019/09/26,1,2020/09/26,1,2021/09/26,1 ||  ||  || 2012/12/26 ||  ||
