I think there's some confusion with a few things (references, adding elements to arrays, etc). One thing that might be helpful is using Data::Dumper for debugging. Anyway, here's how I would do it: 
sub parseIntoArraySolaris {
    # this is what we'll return after we parse
    my @rows;
    foreach my $line(@_){
        # here's a temporary array for each column's value
        # as we split it, we divide all the numbered
        # values by 1024
        my @cols = map {m/^[\d.-]+$/ ? $_ / 1024 : $_}
                   (split(/\s+/,$line))[0..5];

        # just for debugging I'm assuming
        # see note below about using Data::Dumper
        print "$_\n" for(@cols);

        # add our parsed data for this line onto @rows
        # this is more idiomatic than how you were doing it
        # with the $arrayCount++ thing
        push(@rows,\@cols);
    }
    # now return all the data
    return @rows;
}

sub sorter {
    # this isn't very efficient for large arrays but 
    # we're probably never doing very large data sets
    # for this problem
    my @rows = @_;

    # you might want to use Data::Dumper to do debugging
    # you just do a print "before sort: ".Dumper \@rows
    # and it'll give you a very nice dump of the data 
    # structure
    print "before sort: $rows[2]->[4]\n";

    my @sorted = sort{$a->[4] cmp $b->[4]} @rows;

    print "Sorted by drive: $sorted[2]->[4]\n";
    return @sorted;
}
