CSV says that embedded quotes should be doubled in the CSV field. To see Text::CSV's notion of that, 

$ perl -MText::CSV -e'$c = Text::CSV->new(); $c->combine qw/Crosby
 Stills Nash/, q/and sometimes "Young"/; print $c->string, $/'
"Crosby","Stills","Nash","and sometimes ""Young"""
$

It sounds as if your application is not producing valid CSV to that standard. See the CAVEATS section of the Text::CSV perldoc for the CSV convention the module is written to.

Check Anydata::Format::CSV if you cannot get your data in Text::CSV's preferred format. It allows you to construct a parser with your choices for 'field_sep', 'quote', 'escape', and 'record_sep'. That may not fix all your problems if the app has a plain inadequate notion of CSV, but it might work.
