OP's code, for ease of reading, with a note re the missing " my" and strict and warnings added:
#!C:/perl/bin
use warnings;
use strict;
use Text::CSV;
my @printerstat;
$file = 'inputdata.csv'; # should be <b>my</b> $file
my $csv = Text::CSV->new();
open (FILE, $file) or die "Couldn't open location file: $!";
while (<FILE>) {
$csv->parse($_);
push(@printerstat, $csv->fields);
print @printerstat;
}
close FILE;
when run against a csv:
this is a field to start with,field2,field3
this produces what I would expect, namely:
this is a field to start with.field2field3
On the supposition that " I want to print each line of the array" means you want each field in the csv printed on a separate line replace
print @printerstat;
with:
for my $field(@printerstat) {
print "$field\n";
}

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).
