Just to start, you probably want to split on ";" instead of a ","
Then, run your program with the debugger to learn about what is happening.
That should give you a good start toward both learning what Perl is doing as well as how to troubleshoot.
perl -d your_program_name.pl
Following compiles and gives you a start
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
my $count = 0;
while (my $line = <DATA>) {
chomp $line;
my @fields = split ";" , $line;
my $rows = $fields[2];
$count++;
}
print "$count\n";
__DATA__

Hope that is helpful...

Insanity: Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.
