I simplified some of the logic, and threw together this example. I hope it helps.
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
my @mField;
#open(DATA," basicdez.dat") || die "Cannot open datfile: $!\n";
while(<DATA>)
{
unless (/^\s*\"EOS\"/)
{
@mField = (split(/\"\s*\"*/));
print $mField[1],', ',$mField[2],"\n";
print $mField[3],"\n";
print $mField[4],', ',$mField[5],"\n";
print $mField[6],"\n";
print "\n";
}
}
#close(DATA);
__DATA__
"Jane""Doe" "123 W Beverly Ave" "Talahasee""Maine" "222-22-2222"
"John""Doe" "456 W Beverly Ave" "Seattle""Washington" "333-33-3333"
"EOS"

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
