You can also split the detection of WINDSOR RIVER from the extraction on the values. Here is my way ...
#!usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use List::Util qw(sum);
my @windsordigits;
while (my $x = <DATA>){
next unless $x =~ /WINDSOR\sRIVERSIDE/;
push @windsordigits, +(split /,/, $x)[-1];
}
die "No 'Windsor digits found in input\n" unless @windsordigits;
my $average = sum(@windsordigits) / @windsordigits;
print "Average is: $average\n";
__DATA__
CA006139520,"WINDSOR RIVERSIDE, ON CA",2018-01-02,10
CA006139520,"WINDSOR RIVERSIDE, ON CA",2018-01-02,20
CA006139520,"WINDSOR RIVERSIDE, ON CA",2018-01-02,14
CA006139520,"WINDSOR DRIVE, ON CA",2018-01-02,10
I use a regex to match, then if we matched in the regex, split the line on the , character and take the last element or the resulting list using the [-1] offset.
Update
Added a die if no digits are detected in the input.

R.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
