You can use a hash where the keys are the IPs and the values are the count:

use strict;
use warnings;
use Regexp::Common qw/net/;

my %hash;

while (<DATA>) {
    $hash{$1}++ if /($RE{net}{IPv4})/;
}

print "$_ => $hash{$_}\n" for keys %hash;

my $uniqueIPs = keys %hash;

print "Number of unique IPs: $uniqueIPs";

Output:

127.0.0.1 => 8
139.12.0.2 => 2
217.0.22.3 => 6
Number of unique IPs: 3

If you're not interested in the count for each IP, you can just use $hash{$1} = 1 instead of incrementing. Either way, the keys will contain log file's unique IPs. Regexp::Common is used in capturing the IPs.
