Have you checked on the perl sites, just Googling "Perl Tutorial" should help you out.

A good site to start learning Perl, http://www.comp.leeds.ac.uk/Perl/start.html

Code:
#!/usr/bin/perl
$line[1] = "abc dee eeee ggg";
$line[2] = "sd dsd sdsd sdsd sdsd";
$line[3] = "sdsds sds sdd sdsd sdsd sdsd sdsd";

for($i = 1; $i < 4 ; $i++){
  print $line[$i] =~ m/(\w+)$/;
  print "\n";
}

This is one way.

Code:
#!/usr/bin/perl
$line[1] = "abc dee eeee ggg";
$line[2] = "sd dsd sdsd sdsd sdsd";
$line[3] = "sdsds sds sdd sdsd sdsd sdsd sdsd";

for($i = 1; $i < 4 ; $i++){
  print $line[$i] =~ m/(\w+)$/;
  print "\n";
  $line[$i] = $1;
}

print $line[1];print "\n";
print $line[2];print "\n";
print $line[3];
