    What's wrong with grep?
    print "XXXXXX has appeared ",
      scalar grep(m/XXXXXX/, @PatternArray),
      " times.\n";

...

my $count = scalar grep m/XXXXXX/, @PatternArray;

      It does not work with grep, why?.. who knows. The matching is working now, I use your 
      chomp(my @PatternArray = map { /^\s*$/ ? () : $_ } <DATA>);

      to read my passwd from the text to the array and I using the following to match 
      my %PassValues;
@PassValues{@PasswordsArray}=();

if (exists $PassValues{$passwordKey}){
my $count = $passwordKey;
$frequency{$count}++;
}
