Text::CSV_XS and Text::CSV only quote when needed in combine () and print (). That is by design. If you want all strings quoted, there is an option to do so: always_quote, which you explicitely set to 0

always_quote

  By default the generated fields are quoted only, if they need to, fo
+r example,
  if they contain the separator. If you set this attribute to a TRUE v
+alue, then
  all fields will be quoted. This is typically easier to handle in ext
+ernal
  applications. (Poor creatures who aren't using Text::CSV_XS. :-)

[download]
my $csv = Text::CSV_XS->new ({ binary => 1, always_quote => 1, eol => "\r\n" });

And I would advise you to use

$csv->print (*STDOUT, [ $fileName,$doc_type, $default_name, $default_description, $report_time ]);

instead of using combine () and string ().

edit: code => quote typo fixed
