I have this data contained in a file BIN COUNT 1 20 2 0 2 1 3 0 3 0 3 1 7 0 8 2 9 1 9 2 10 3 I split this and stored in a hash $hash{seq++} = { BIN => $bin_num, COUNT => $count, }; I wanted to merge the duplicate BINs into one and sum up their values (counts). The output would look like this: BIN COUNT 1 20 2 1 3 1 7 0 8 2 9 3 10 3 I was able to loop through hash and display it but cannot proceed with my desired output. I don't know how to do it. Please help!
