I need a little help with this script. I wrote this small script to count repeating bytes in small files (200kb or less), which it is doing, but its not doing it correctly I do not think. 
use strict;
use warnings;

my $count = 0;

my @array;

while ( read( DATA, my $byte, 1 ) ) {

    if ( $byte ~~ @array ) {
        $count++;
        print @array;
        undef @array;
    }
    else {
        undef @array;
        push @array, $byte;
        print @array;
    }
}
print $count;


__DATA__

In this code, it should match "1" 2 times, "2" 2 times, and "3" 3 times, which would be a total of 7 repeating bytes. The script only counts 5 repeating bytes.

What am I missing? I know its something simple probably. Any help would be appreciated :)
