When all you do in the loop is increment, you might as well just write 

    my $count = @{$AoA[$i]};

which, btw, is approximately N times faster, with N being the size of the array: 

use Benchmark 'cmpthese';

my @AoA;
$AoA[42] = [ (1) x 1000 ];

cmpthese(-1,
    {
        counted => sub {
            my $count =0;
            foreach my $column (@{$AoA[42]}){
                    $count ++;
                    }
        },
        direct  => sub {
            my $count = @{$AoA[42]};
        },
    }
);
