That, sir, is a beauty.

Anything functional (in the map-reduce sense) makes me quite happy. You have my thanks.

EDIT: what version is this? 5.16 'use strict' returns all zeros for each count. Does that provide the function return code?

    The shift requires the string as an argument of the script. If you want to read it from a file, you have to use
    $s = <>;
    instead and provide the input file as the argument.
