You're sooo close! Just use map() instead of grep():
@lines = map(/^"(.*)",?$/, @fulltext);

This works because map evaluates the regex in list context
and returns a combined list of all the return values.
The regex will return 0 elements for no match, and 1 element
for a match, so you get a list of the matches, and only
for the lines that match (just like grep).
