G'day Perlseeker_1,

As already stated by others, there's a disconnect between your title, code and output.

The following produces the output you seem to want based on the data you posted. Perhaps replacing my <DATA> with your <$handle> will achieve the result you're after.

#!/usr/bin/env perl -l

use strict;
use warnings;

my %result;
++$result{join ' --> ' => (split /,/)[1,4]} while <DATA>;
print "$_ --> $result{$_}" for sort keys %result;

__DATA__
01,AB1,CDEF,CHINA,T1,
02,AB2,CDEF,CHINA,T1,
03,AB1,CDEF,JAPAN,T2,
04,AB2,CDEF,JAPAN,T2,
05,AB3,CDEF,JAPAN,T2,
06,AB4,CDEF,JAPAN,T2,
07,AB3,CDEF,CHINA,T1,
08,AB4,CDEF,CHINA,T1,
09,AB1,CDEF,CHINA,T1,
10,AB2,CDEF,CHINA,T1,
11,AB1,CDEF,JAPAN,T2,
12,AB2,CDEF,JAPAN,T2,
13,AB3,CDEF,JAPAN,T2,
14,AB4,CDEF,JAPAN,T2,
15,AB3,CDEF,CHINA,T1,
16,AB4,CDEF,CHINA,T1,

Output:

AB1 --> T1 --> 2
AB1 --> T2 --> 2
AB2 --> T1 --> 2
AB2 --> T2 --> 2
AB3 --> T1 --> 2
AB3 --> T2 --> 2
AB4 --> T1 --> 2
AB4 --> T2 --> 2

Any ideas on this is helpful

I have some ideas :)

The title of your question has nothing to do with output what I am Expecting is -- you seem to be reading the zipped file just fine

The output what I am Expecting is has nothing to do with the output you get

So, maybe, try to write some code to get output what I am Expecting is and pretend like the part thats working doesn't exist, like this

#!/usr/bin/perl --
use strict; use warnings; use Data::Dump qw/ dd /;
open my($handle), '<:raw', \'
01,AB1,CDEF,CHINA,T1,
02,AB2,CDEF,CHINA,T1,
03,AB1,CDEF,JAPAN,T2,
04,AB2,CDEF,JAPAN,T2,
05,AB3,CDEF,JAPAN,T2,
06,AB4,CDEF,JAPAN,T2,
07,AB3,CDEF,CHINA,T1,
08,AB4,CDEF,CHINA,T1,
09,AB1,CDEF,CHINA,T1,
10,AB2,CDEF,CHINA,T1,
11,AB1,CDEF,JAPAN,T2,
12,AB2,CDEF,JAPAN,T2,
13,AB3,CDEF,JAPAN,T2,
14,AB4,CDEF,JAPAN,T2,
15,AB3,CDEF,CHINA,T1,
16,AB4,CDEF,CHINA,T1,
';

my %result;
while( <$handle>){
    my @fudge = join '|', ( split /\|/, $_ )[4] ;
    dd( $_ => \@fudge );
    $result{$_}++ for @fudge;
    dd( \%result );
}
dd( \%result );
__END__

This works far better than it should, (split /\|/)[4] means that you read values separated by a |, and take the fifth (Edit: not fourth, thanks choroba). Since your values are separated by commas, that's either not your real input or the code you actually used. Do read the documentation on split if you intend to use it. The [4] means "only the fifth value", and join is used to join several values, so in this case, it is useless.

For your expected result, you could do something like that :

while (my $line = <$handle>)
{
   my ($number, $key1, $dontcare, $country, $key2) = split /:/, $line;
+ # Something to change here
   $result{$key1}{$key2}++;
}
print Dumper(\%result);

To have something more useful with Data::Dumper, you should write print Dumper(\%result);, the backslash returns a reference to your hash, which means that instead of using Dumper on each element (key or value) of %result, you'll do it on %result as a whole.

There is one thing you do correctly though, and it's reading from a zipped file. So you don't have to ask for that.
