Are you looking to gather aggregates based on whether a total is something?

For instance, you appear to be looping over db rows, so if 'total' column is '3', you want to sum those up individually?

If so, use a hash:

my %h;

...; # get info from db

$h{$total} += $revenue;

Example:

use warnings;
use strict;

use Data::Dumper;

my %h;

while (<DATA>){
    my ($total, $revenue) = split;
    $h{$total} += $revenue;
}

print Dumper \%h;

__DATA__
3 555
4 962
3 1
3 1064
5 19
17 8
45 -1

Output:

$VAR1 = {
          '5' => 19,
          '3' => 1620,
          '45' => -1,
          '4' => 962,
          '17' => 8
        };
