How about post-processing:

addquotes:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w 
#usage: addquotes inputfile outputfile
$inputfile = shift;
$outputfile = shift;
open(IN,"$inputfile") || die("Error opening $inputfile - $!");
open(OUT,">$outputfile") || die("Error opening $outputfile - $!");
while (<IN>) {
 ($date,$close) = split /,/;
 print OUT "\"$date\",\"$close\"";
}
close IN;
close OUT;
