I have some code to select certain strings from a flat file. I am at the point where I can print the file but I would instead like to convert the selected text to CSV form. How is this done?

A line of the tab delimited text looks like this:

[Wed Jun 13 10:20:32 2012 [notice mpmstats: rdy 758 bsy 42 rd 0 wr 29 ka 11 log 0 dns 0 cls 2

Here is my code so far: 

#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;

main (@ARGV);

sub main
{
    open(FH, "error_log");
    while (my $line = <FH>){
        if ($line =~ m/notice/){
            if ($line =~ m/rdy/){
                print $line;
            }
        }
    }
        close FH;
}
