Check the three lines after the s/\t+/ /g; and think about where your data are actually going. You really just want an array of strings. One string for each line, in this case one string for each hop. Each separate element of @Fields became a separate element of @FoundHops. Then you joined it all together into one long string.

e.g. after the first time round the loop, @FoundHops is the following list of scalars: ("1", "cat-itd-05", "10.1.254.253")
