Jonathan, $ARGV[$count] represents the index of the array. I am passing in parameters and some contain space between two words and I noticed that using while (<@ARGV>) it loops the exact amount of times per words, not per parameter. So if I passed "Hi There" it goes around the loop twice rather than once. On the second iteration there is no value to process.

Is it supposed to be the line of the file? Either use: my @file = <ARGV>; foreach my $line (@file) { print 'count' . $count++ . $_ . "\n"; } Or: while (<ARGV>) { print "count $. $_"; } Note that ARGV can just be written as <>. I *think* that is what you are looking for.
