My best guess at what you are doing

#!perl
use strict;
use Data::Dump 'pp';

my %combo = ( 
   'ID1' => [0,'sv1','sv2','pv1','pv2'],
   'ID2' => [1,'sv1','sv2','pv1','pv2'],
   'ID3' => [0,'sv1','sv3','pv1','pv2'],
   'ID4' => [1,'sv1','sv2','pv1','pv2'],
   'ID5' => [1,'sv1','sv2','pv1','pv2'],
);

open my $fh,'>','output.txt' or die "$!";
my $count = uniqify($fh,3,\%combo);
pp $count;

sub uniqify {
  my ($fh,$pid_ix,$href) = @_;
  my %count=();
  
  foreach my $key (keys %$href){
    my ($purch,$sv1,$sv2,$pid) = @{$href->{$key}}[0..2,$pid_ix];
    my $prodID = join '_',$sv1,$sv2;
    
    if ($purch){
      $prodID .= '0';
    } else {
      $prodID .= '_-';    
    }
    
    # counts
    if (exists $count{$prodID}{'dedup'}{$pid}){
      ++$count{$prodID}{'dup_count'};
    } else {
      ++$count{$prodID}{'dedup_count'};
      $count{$prodID}{'dedup'}{$pid} = 1;
      print $fh (join "\t",$key,@{$href->{$key}})."\n";
    } 
    
    ++$count{$prodID}{'total_count'};
    
  }
  return \%count;
}
