I suppose that above example is not good one; here is the real one:
Mark
Francesco
Ann
Robert

transform to: "Mark","Francesco","Ann","Robert"

while (<SOURCE>)
{
my($line) = $_;
if ($line =~ $) #match to end of line

You don't need a regex here at all, and even if you did, the contents of the regex need to be inside /.../.

 {
    print "$line"; #how to make e.g. "Mark",
 }
}

In your case, you want to do something like:

  while (<SOURCE>) {
    chomp;  # to remove the newline at the end of the string in $_
    print qq{"$_",};
  }

The qq{...} is a double-quoted string; that is, it's the same as "..." except that it doesn't use " to delimit the string, but rather { and }.

This isn't a perfect solution for you, though, because it keeps a trailing comma that I'm quite sure you don't want. But this is a start for you.
