Stripping double quotes from front and end of a line

I have a file and some records may contain double quotes at beginning and at end of line. So how do I strip them?

For Example, file is somethings like this

Code:
Field1;Field2;Field3
01;'Test';'Test Field3'
"01;'This is 2nd field';This is 3rd field' "

Desired Output is:

Code:
Field1;Field2;Field3
01;'Test';'Test Field3'
01;'This is 2nd field';This is 3rd field'

Thanks

NAME
Test::Moose - Test functions for Moose specific features VERSION
version 2.0603 SYNOPSIS
use Test::More plan => 1; use Test::Moose; meta_ok($class_or_obj, "... Foo has a ->meta"); does_ok($class_or_obj, $role, "... Foo does the Baz role"); has_attribute_ok($class_or_obj, $attr_name, "... Foo has the 'bar' attribute"); DESCRIPTION
This module provides some useful test functions for Moose based classes. It is an experimental first release, so comments and suggestions are very welcome. EXPORTED FUNCTIONS
meta_ok ($class_or_object) Tests if a class or object has a metaclass. does_ok ($class_or_object, $role, ?$message) Tests if a class or object does a certain role, similar to what "isa_ok" does for the "isa" method. has_attribute_ok($class_or_object, $attr_name, ?$message) Tests if a class or object has a certain attribute, similar to what "can_ok" does for the methods. with_immutable { CODE } @class_names Runs CODE (which should contain normal tests) twice, and make each class in @class_names immutable in between the two runs. TODO
Convert the Moose test suite to use this module. Here is a list of possible functions to write immutability predicates anon-class predicates discovering original method from modified method attribute metaclass predicates (attribute_isa?) SEE ALSO
