XY problem question here... What are you going to be using those arrays for? Are they huge, or is the sample/good a small subset of the input data? There may be better ways to approach the entire task.
Perhaps consider something more like this:
use strict;
use warnings;
open my $ifh, '<', 'test.pl' or die;
open my $ofh_samples, '>', 'samples.txt' or die;
open my $ofh_good, '>', 'goodlines.txt' or die;
$|=1;
my $total = -s 'test.pl';
my $progress = 0;
my $linecount = 0;
while (my $line = <$ifh>)
{
$linecount++;
$progress += length ($line);
print $ofh_samples $1 if $line =~ /^sample\s+(\S+)/;
print $ofh_good $1 if $line =~ /^good\s+(\S+)/;
printf "Processing... %3.1f%% completed... \r", 100*$progress/$tot
+al unless $linecount %100;
}
That will keep little more than one line in memory at a time, and you can then deal with the pieces separately. Uncomment the comments to give a progress display.

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).
