Life is too short to spend it reinventing wheels - use CPAN. In this case the various List modules will likely have what you need. Enjoy.

    Counting repeated elements isn't exactly reinventing a wheel. What List modules/functions did you have in mind? (My List::Util::reduce solution was by way of a joke; I hadn't seen your post when I wrote it.)
