Instead of $line =~ s/,//g; to remove commas, I would use a more generalized regex (but on each element, not on each line): 
$elem =~ s/[^\d+-e.]//g;

This will remove any char that is not a digit, a +, a -, an 'e' (for numbers like 2e+31), or a point (.).

Or, even better, use Number::Format: 

use Number::Format;
$elem = unformat_number($elem);

This is especially useful if an array is used instead of the $se# notation. You'd access each one through $se[#] instead, and you could do this: 

for (@se) { $_ = $unformat_number($_) }
