How about something like: 
#!/usr/bin/perl -wT
use strict;

my $calog = "/var/log/ca/ca.log";
my $line;
my @certs;

# open LOG, "$calog" or die "Can't open $calog: $!\n";
while ($line = <DATA>){                      # Switched to  __DATA__ j
+ust for example
  if ($line =~ m/\'([-.\w]+)\'\s+added/) {   # Make this Regex a bit s
+marter
      push(@certs,$1);                       # add the piece in parens
+ above to the @certs array
  } #end if
} #end while

print "$_\n" for @certs;                     # print out the array

__DATA__
