I have a CSV file in the format shown below, and I’m using the Perl split command as shown, based on comma as delimiter. The problem is I have a quoted string "HTTP Large, GMS, ZMS: Large Files" with embedded commas and it fails. The array values will have only less elements. How can I modify the split command.

  my @values = split('\,', $line);

    Issues like embedded commas are precisely why modules such as Text::CSV were created. If, but only if, the data does not have embedded commas, then you can make regular expressions work. When the data has embedded commas, it is time to move to a tool designed to handle CSV with embedded commas, and that would be Text::CSV in Perl (and its relatives Text::CSV_PP and Text::CSV_XS).
