Take note of changing the permissions and stuff..
Use FULL paths
example
cp /home/admin/fileA.csv /var/tmp/fileB.csv #sourceand dest locations
/usr/bin/perl -i.bak -0777 -ple's/(".*?)[\r\n]*(.*?")/$1$2/g' /home/admin/fileA.csv
Let us know if you're able to resolve this issue.

It appears that you are creating these files in Windows and uploading them to Unix?

This means that the files are in the wrong format, they have CRLF line endings instead of just LF (CR = carriage return, LF = line feed).

You should either create the script on Unix using a Unix native editor, or convert the file to Unix format (tr -d '\r' < windowsfile > unixfile should do the trick).
