help with use all cells of array in regex	Can't Post

I would like to count the number of occurrences where:
[comma or semicolon] followed by whitespace
precedes a string that matches an element in my array

Code

	$_ = join ' ',@wordmonger; 
	$CC++ while (/[,;]\s+(~~@CoordinatingConjunctions)/g);

your help is much appreciated

Code

use strict; 
use warnings; 
use 5.010; 
 
my $str =<<ENDOFSTR; 
hello, monkey 
bye; monkey 
bye, dog;  
 
cat end 
ENDOFSTR 
 
my @arr = ('monkey', 'cat'); 
my $count = 0; 
 
for (@arr) { 
    $count++ while ($str =~ /[,;]\s+$_/g) ; 
} 
 
say $count;
