We need to give something like

perl -p -e 's/"^""//g' file1 > file2

if we are working on Windows, because "^" is the escape sequence for " in Windows.

If you are using the -i that means "in place", and so you don't need to redirect the output. Either do this:

perl -pi -e 's/\"//g' file1

or this:

perl -p -e 's/\"//g' file1 > file2

But don't combine -i and redirection.
