Further to jwkrahn's reply:
You can find the number of elements in an array by evaluating the array in scalar context (also note that printing an array 'element' demarcated by something like single-quotes in a piece of debug code like this shows each element more clearly): 

>perl -wMstrict -le
"my $count=0;
 my @cp_op = '111 222 333';
 print 'elements in array: ', scalar @cp_op;
 foreach my $line (@cp_op) {
   print qq{'$line'};
   $count ++;
   }
 print qq{$count};
"
elements in array: 1
'111 222 333'
1
