Welcome to the Monastery.

It would be better if you went back and updated your post to surround the lines of your file with code tags. Refer to Writeup Formatting Tips.

The following merges lines 3 and 4: 

use warnings;
use strict;

while (<DATA>) {
    chomp if $. == 3;
    print;
}

__DATA__
14020493,user connected to system,11052010083612,192.168.7.8
