Hello trey5498- Ok, so I cleaned this up a bit and added code tags. After I installed Text::CSV, this code ran perfectly well on my machine. It basically takes every comma separated value and pushes it onto the @printerstat array. Is that what you intended? If not, you'll need to be more specific about the goal your attempting to reach and the problem you're encountering.

Please note the use of 
use strict;
use warnings;

at the beginning of the script. I've been casually coding in perl for a few years now and have found them to be invaluable.

Also see PerlMonks FAQ, Writeup Formatting Tips, and How do I post a question effectively? to familiarize yourself with the surroundings. 
use strict;
use warnings;
use Text::CSV;
my @printerstat = ();
my $file = 'inputdata.csv';
my $csv = Text::CSV->new();
open (FILE, $file) or die "Couldn't open location file: $!";
while (<FILE>) {
  $csv->parse($_);
  push(@printerstat, $csv->fields);
  print @printerstat;
}
close FILE;
