The problem is that you are not matching the " after the non-quotes.
To fix that, match it:
$str =~ /"([^"]*)","([^"]*)"/;
If you download YAPE::Regex 3.00 and YAPE::Regex::Explain 3.01 from CPAN
or my web site (click on the YAPE link in "Projects"), then you can use
the regex explainer program (called 'explain') to get an explanation of
your regex, which should help you see why it's failing.
