Please help, I'm a newb at perl and I can't figure this out.

Basically I want to parse some C++ source code and replace some
constants.

I've mangaed to read in the file and replace some of the things that
need replacing. but I'm having a hard time matching a particular
pattern. For example:

 cout << "This is a \"String\"" << "With some text";
 printf("This is another possible \"string\"");

needs to become:

 cout << L"This is a \"String\"" << L"With some text";
 wprintf(L"This is another possible \"string\"");

So I need a pattern that will match only the first " of every
substring but not match the final " or \" ....

Could someone point me in the right direction.. thanks for the help..
