When you want to group stuff by name or other non-numeric identifier use a hash. Consider:

use strict;
use warnings;

my %quotes = comgetter ('Goud', 'Koper');

for my $aandeel (keys %quotes) {
    print "$aandeel: $_\n" for @{$quotes{$aandeel}};
}


sub comgetter {    #platinum enzo werkt allemaal nog niet
    my %quotes;
    my $html = do {local $/; <DATA>};

    foreach my $aandeel (@_) {
        my @url = split (/title=\s*"$aandeel"/, $html);
        my @url1 = split ('</td>\s*<td', $url[1]);
        my @url2 = split (/>/, $url1[1]);

        push @{$quotes{$aandeel}}, $url2[-1];

    }
    return %quotes;
}

By the way I strongly advise you to always use strictures (use strict; use warnings;) and avoid global variables. There seems to be a bug in your code where you declare @comquotes in your sub, but use @quotes. In this case you maybe get away with it because in the code you don't show us most likely you assign the return value from comgetter to the global @quotes. But some time in the future that fortunate accident is going to turn around and bite you hard on the back side!

True laziness is hard work
