I believe its now working! Full script below, cobbled together thanks to the wonderful work of the Perl Monks! 

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

my $str = `bpdbjobs`;
my $filename = 'bpdbjobs.txt';

open(FH, '>', $filename) or die $!;

print FH $str;

close(FH);

open(FH, '<', $filename) or die $!;

my $fmt = 'A5 A15 A1 A7 A6';

my %counts = ();
my @col = ('JobID','Col2','Type','State',
'Status','Policy','Schedule','Client',
'Dest Media Svr','Active PID'); # 10 cols
my $totalfails = 0;

while (<FH>){
  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
}

$totalfails += $counts{'Status'}{$_} for grep {$_ > 1} keys %{$counts{
+'Status'}};

print Dumper \%counts;

printf "Statistic.SUCCESSFULL = %d\n",$counts{'Status'}{'0'};
printf "Statistic.PARTIAL = %d\n",$counts{'Status'}{'1'};
printf "Statistic.FAILS = $totalfails\n";

close(FH);
