You need to add escape_char => q{'} or somesuch, otherwise the quote marks are treated as escapes. In the next release I intend to have the escape_char default to whatever the sep_char is set to rather than to " as it is now. This parses your sample correctly for me:

#!perl -w
use strict;
use Text::CSV_XS;
use IO::Scalar;
my $str = q{'title'|'Some Name, "some wierd title"'|'555-555-5555'};
my $csv = Text::CSV_XS->new( {
    binary=>1,
    quote_char=>q{'},
    sep_char=>q{|},
    escape_char=>q{'},
} );
my $fh  = IO::Scalar->new(\$str);
while (my $cols = $csv->getline($fh)) {
    last unless @$cols;
    printf "%s\n", join "\n",@$cols;
}

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
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).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
