Anchor your regex eg.

$line=~ s/^                      #Anchor at the beginning of the line
          logfile\s*=\s*([^,]*?) # As before
          (:?,.*)?               # non-capturing optional block beginn
+ing with a comma
          $                      # Anchor at end of line
          /$1/x;
