Well, not really. What that matches is any character followed by a space three or more times. Since a space is any character, it counts those as well.
Try:
m/(\b\w+\b){3,}/
which I think should do the trick. It says match a word boundry, followed by one or more letters/numbers, followed by another word boundary.
Hope that helps,
Alex
