"remove space after "FIRST'" ++

But the output from your code above is: 

IJK1234
Use of uninitialized value in print at F:\_wo\pl_test\733761b2.pl line
+ 16.
ABCD
Use of uninitialized value in print at F:\_wo\pl_test\733761b2.pl line
+ 16.

...which doesn't capture the phone number.

So, perhaps one might wish to capture the phone in the manner below and avoid the uninitialized warnings re the case where "FIRST" is empty: 

foreach my $item(@strings) {
  print "in ENV Not Running: " . $1 if ($item =~ /ENV\(([^)]*)\) STATU
+S\(Not Running\)/);
  $item =~ /^PRINT NAME FIRST\(([^)]*)\).* PHONE\((.+)\)/;
  if ($1 && $2) {
     print "in PRINT NAME FIRST:  $1, " . $2;
  }
}

OUTPUT:

in ENV Not Running: IJK1234
in PRINT NAME FIRST:  ABCD, 12345678

Note that adding the labels to the output may bollix further processing, depending on where OP is going with this.
