[ale] One for the perl hackers

[Doug Hall]

One way would be to use a two-step process. On the first pass, strip out
the double-quoted components. Then, in the second pass, parse only the
components which aren't quoted.

So, in your example, the first pass would return an array of three items:

> component1,component2,
> "This is my, test string"
> , component4

The second pass would remove the beginning and trailing commas, and then
split what's left at the remaining commas.
