I recall seeing some code that would "catch" all of the matches in an array. I don't recall the exact code. I've been playing around with different syntax. The example below seems to work okay.

my(@foundStrings) = ($myString =~ /"([^"]+)"/g);

In full snippet: 
#!/usr/local/bin/perl
use strict;

my $myString ='stay "keep together" apart "and this" not';
print "\n$myString\n";

my (@foundStrings) = ($myString =~ /"([^"]+)"/g);

foreach my $string (@foundStrings) {
        print "$string\n";
}
exit;

By the way, if you'd prefer to have the " marks included in the resulting array I find this works. 
my(@foundStrings) = ($myString =~ /"[^"]+"/g);

Funny how much power a couple of parens can have. Behold the power of Perl and be humbled. ;-)
