I like your idea but, I think you will overcount when there are leading and trailing spaces and undercount when there are only commas, semicolons etc.

How about

 $text =~ s/^\W+|\W+$//g;
 $number = $text =~ m/(\W+)/sg + 1;

$number = $text =~ m/(\s+)/sg + 1;

Where $text is the entire document or whatever.  Instead of counting ur
fingers, u can count the spaces between ur fingers and add one.
