number of elements in array is -1?

[Tyler Longren]

Hello everyone,

I have a problem.  I just want to print the number of elements in an
array.  Here's the code:
my @scans;
my $last_host = "192.168.1.1";
while (<LOGFILE>) {
      push (@scans, $_)
      if m/$last_host/i;
}

shouldn't that put all of the results into the @scans array?  I know
there'd just be a bunch of the same value.  
$array[0] would equal 192.168.1.1
and $array[1] would equal 192.168.1.1

I try to show the number of elements in the array like so:
print "$#scans";

But that prints "-1".  I know for a fact there are at least 2 entries in
LOGFILE that have an IP of 192.168.1.1.

Thanks,
Tyler Longren
