Oh, and I also came up with this as another method. It uses the 'reverse' function (search for it here if you can't figure it out). 
#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;
use diagnostics;

PrintInRevWordOrder ("The tall brown cat walked down the alley-way.");

sub PrintInRevWordOrder {
  my @string = split /\s+/, reverse shift;

  print reverse($_) . " " for @string;
}

And, quite embarisingly, I made the classic off by one mistake in my previous code. I *did* test it, ... but not closely enough, apparently! The first word never appears, because the for statement needs to read "<= 0" instead of "< 0" -- I guess that's what I get for going to C-like syntax, which I did since I figure you'd be more familiar with it. Pooh! :P
