You don't specifically ask a question, but since you say "rest of the line", I'm guessing your problem is that you're printing too much after "my string".
I'd suggest changing your regular expression to:
if ( $str =~ m/^ServiceCategoryName=(.*)/) {
which will, if the expression matches, put the rest of the line (i.e., the stuff after the '=') into the $1 capture buffer. From there you could extract the stuff you're interested in, like so:
if ( $str =~ m/^ServiceCategoryName=(.*)/) {
print $str;
# Extract the array from "the rest of the line"
my @array = split /,/, $1;
print "my string ", $array[0], "\n";
}
Notes:
- You're not providing a format string, so I changed printf to print.
- You should use cut & paste to put your actual code, rather than retyping it. That'll help you avoid typos, like the missing comma in your split statement.

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).
