If you have fixed format records, then perhaps using unpack is a simpler option. For example

#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use Data::Dumper ;

my $fmt = 'A13 A8 A8 A10 A6 A20 A6 A12 A16 A5';

my %counts = ();
my @col = ('JobID','Col2','Type','State',
'Status','Policy','Schedule','Client',
'Dest Media Svr','Active PID'); # 10 cols

while (<DATA>){
  next unless /\S/;      # skip blank lines
  next if /^\s+JobID/;   # skip header
  chomp;
  my @f = unpack $fmt,$_;
  s/^\s+|\s+$//g for @f; # trim spaces
  
  # count each column
  for my $n (0..$#col){
    ++$counts{$col[$n]}{$f[$n]};
  }
  
  print join "\|",@f,"\n"; # check
}
print Dumper \%counts;

printf "Succesfull = %d\n",$counts{'Status'}{'0'};
