Maybe I'm reading this wrong, but if you're only looking for the third field
on the second line, why not just do this:
open(INFILE,"myfile.txt") || die "Could not open myfile.txt! $!";
<INFILE>; #skip the first line
$_ = <INFILE>;
my $thirdField = (split /,/,$_)[2]; #Get the third elementof
#the array created by splitting

Subject: skip the first line
I have a file that looks like
0
232,32387,2323
I am only interested in the last set of digits on the second line. My plan
was to split on coma and take the 3 element of the array. I am having
problems
skipping the fist line. Any assistance would be appreciated.
