use strict; and use warnings; when you are learning, they reduce time spent debugging (when you know everything and never make typos feel free to stop using them)
Do you want to have the array items separated by newlines, or by spaces on a single line?
Your code looks as though it was copied over the shoulder of someone who has an array of tokens extracted from a line - why is that?
You have to have values in a string before you can split it.
The foreach structure in your code makes no sense at all, syntactically foreach takes a list not a scalar, you then make a crazy assignment within the loop.
Try and code up something like the following and get back to us if you hit an issue
call the interpreter
apply the strict and warnings pragmas
print your request
read from standard input (and chomp inline if you wish)
split the values in the input into an array
print your array (I like to use print join(', ', @input_tokens),"\n"; when printing an array as it looks nicer)
Hope that helps, by the way check your spelling as well

upscli_list_start
UPSCLI_LIST_START(3) NUT Manual UPSCLI_LIST_START(3)NAME
upscli_list_start - begin multi-item retrieval from a UPS
SYNOPSIS
#include <upsclient.h>
int upscli_list_start(UPSCONN_t *ups, int numq, const char **query)
DESCRIPTION
The upscli_list_start() function takes the pointer ups to a UPSCONN_t state structure, and the pointer query to an array of numq query
elements. It builds a properly-formatted request from those elements and transmits it to upsd(8).
Upon success, the caller must call upscli_list_next(3) to retrieve the elements of the list. Failure to retrieve the list will most likely
result in the client getting out of sync with the server due to buffered data.
USES
This function implements the "LIST" command in the protocol. As a result, you can use it to request many different things from the server.
Some examples are:
o LIST UPS
o LIST VAR <ups>
o LIST RW <ups>
o LIST CMD <ups>
o LIST ENUM <ups> <var>
o LIST RANGE <ups> <var>
QUERY FORMATTING
To see the list of variables on a UPS called su700, the protocol command would be LIST VAR su700. To start that list with this function,
you would populate query and numq as follows:
int numq;
const char *query[2];
query[0] = "VAR";
query[1] = "su700";
numq = 2;
All escaping of special characters and quoting of elements with spaces are handled for you inside this function.
ERROR CHECKING
This function checks the response from upsd(8) against your query. If it is not starting a list, or is starting the wrong type of list, it
will return an error code.
When this happens, upscli_upserror(3) will return UPSCLI_ERR_PROTOCOL.
RETURN VALUE
The upscli_list_start() function returns 0 on success, or -1 if an error occurs.
