Here's one approach which looks complex but you can break it down into its constituent parts easily enough.

#!/usr/bin/env perl 
use strict;
use warnings;

my %counts = (
    Status => {
        0 => 99,
        1 => 12,
        2 => 3,
        77 => 4
    }
    # Other keys would go here
);

my $totalfails = 0;
$totalfails += $counts{Status}{$_} for grep {$_ > 1} keys %{$counts{St
+atus}};

print "Total failures: $totalfails\n";

Looking at the long line which does all the work, from "grep" to the end extracts the hash keys which match your criteria (>1). The "for" then iterates over these keys, assigning them to $_ each time. The "+=" extracts the value associated with each key from the original hash and cumulatively adds them to $totalfails. HTH.
