Don't use $&! It slows down all the regexp in your program (including modules) that don't have captures. Use captures instead.
while ($string =~ /([CSH][CSHL]*[CSH])/g) { print "$1, "; }

Use join to avoid the trailing comma.

print join ', ', $string =~ /([CSH][CSHL]*[CSH])/g;

An alternative approach would be to strip out the offending L characters.

for ($string) { s/-L+|L+-/-/g; s/^L+//; s/L+$//; print join ', ', /([CSHL]{2,})/g; }

Update: Added s/^L// and s/L$//.
Update: Changed L to L+.
Update: Accidently changed too many things to "+"s. Fixed.
