A couple of quick observations: 

my $diceone = int(rand(5)) + 1;
my $dicetwo = int(rand(5)) + 1;

[download]
These should have rand(6), rather than rand(5). You need numbers between 1.000... and 6.999... in order for int(rand...) to return numbers between 1 and 6.

I would initialize @dicearray more like this: 

my @dicearray = ($dice1,$dice2,$dice3,$dice4,$dice5,$dice6);

[download]
so it contains the values you need and not the names of variables.

That way you can print the selected dice with 

print "Rolling first die resulted in : \n";
print $dicearray[$diceone-1];
print "Rolling second die resulted in : \n";
print $dicearray[$dicetwo-1];

instead of the odd foreach loop.
