Substitute, replace string with perl

I have string like this:

$string= "only this I need".

I am new in perl, and I tried to translate a PL/SQL code in perl.
My goal is to replace " with a blank space, finally it should look like this:

$string = only this I need

In PL/SQL I use this, and is working very well:

REGEXP_REPLACE(string,'"','');

In perl I tried this, but is not working: $string=~s/"/''; receiving an error.

Please, help me, tell me what I need to read to do my job properly?

This is a way to remove quotes from string:

my $string= '"only this I need"';
$string =~ m/"([^"]*)"/;
print "$1\n";

In case if you know the first and last character is quotes, you can do this without using regex, just use substr:

my $string= '"only this I need"';
$string = substr $string, 1, -1;
print "$string\n";

Try this it should work: 

use strict;
use warnings;

my $string= '"only this I need"';

print "$string \n"; #prints "only this I need"

$string =~ s/"/ /g;

print "$string \n"; #prints only this I need
