Maybe I'm reading this wrong, but if you're only looking for the third field
on the second line, why not just do this:
open(INFILE,"myfile.txt") || die "Could not open myfile.txt! $!";
; #skip the first line
$_ = ;
my $thirdField = (split /,/,$_)[2]; #Get the third elementof

open(FH,"your_file.txt") || die $!;
my @tmp = readline(*FH); #this will read each line in your file
my @second_row = split(/,/,join('',$tmp[1]),"\n"); #just look at the
second row
print($second_row[2]); #third element in array
close(FH);
