Bad idea. In perfectly correct CSV, it is possible to have odd number of " perl line in many different ways. This is valid CSV (all lines with " have an odd number of "):

$ cat test.csv
1,"2,","3"04"
2,"newline there ->
and more text for row 2",There
3,,Bah
$ csv-check test.csv
Checked test.csv  with csv-check 1.5 using Text::CSV_XS 1.01
OK: rows: 3, columns: 3
    sep = <,>, quo = <">, bin = <1>, eol = <"\n">
$

Parsing CSV with regular expressions and/or on perl default readline method is a dangerous path to walk.
