Thanks - I also need to make sure there are no duplicates in the third field. I assume this is easy too...

    This will count the second field ignoring duplicates 
    perl -F: -e 'END { print "$_ $c{$_}\n" for keys %c }' \
       -ane '$c{$F[1]}++ unless $d{"@F[1,2]"}++'

    I assume this is what you meant no duplicates in the third field.
