I keep getting compile errors.
Try to put the following at the beginning of your script:
use strict;
use warnings;
use diagnostics;

and you should get better info about what's going wrong. At a first glance, you're missing the foreach closing brace. Please note that using strict obliges you to declare all your variables before you use them, which you should appreciate as a C++ programmer :)

If each $line contains the whole stuff, you'll have hard times. You should probably split using "," as a separator, then iterate thru the elements:

foreach my $line (@lines) {
   chomp $line;
   foreach my $element (split /,/ , $line) {
      my $extension = substr($element, -3) || '';
      if ( $extension eq 'exe' ) {
          push @dllarray, "[$element]";
      }           
      elsif ( $extension eq 'dll' )
      {
          push @dllarray, $element;           
      }      
   }
}
