Your code does a match and only prints the first chunk of text before a
comma. The /g modifier does nothing here, because your regex is in void
context. If you want to make every field in your file be surrounded by
quotes, then do:
while (<READ>) {
chomp; # remove newline
print WRITE
join ",", # join with commas
map "'$_'", # put quotes around text
split /,/; # split based on the comma
print WRITE "\n"; # replace newline
}
