I have replaced the 'TOTAL' with a more "speaking" label. Pls look at the 'all...' rows and how they represent the sums of the (random) data in each of the blocks:

use strict; use warnings; use Data::Dumper; my %pivot; # generate 100 random records for app(lications) being accessed thru s +ome dev(ices) with some bro(wsers) for(1..100){ my($app,$dev,$bro) = (qw(App1 App2 App3)[rand 3],qw(Dev1 Dev2 Dev3 +)[rand 3],qw(Bro1 Bro2 Bro3)[rand 3]); ++$pivot{$app}{$dev}{$bro}; ++$pivot{'allapps'}{$dev}{$bro}; ++$pivot{$app}{'alldevs'}{$bro}; ++$pivot{$app}{$dev}{'allbros'}; ++$pivot{'allapps'}{'alldevs'}{$bro}; ++$pivot{$app}{'alldevs'}{'allbros'}; ++$pivot{'allapps'}{$dev}{'allbros'}; ++$pivot{'allapps'}{'alldevs'}{'allbros'}; } # statistics for accesses for my $app (sort keys %pivot) { for my $dev (sort keys %{$pivot{$app}}) { for my $bro (sort keys %{$pivot{$app}{$dev}}) { print "$app\t$dev\t$bro\t$pivot{$app}{$dev}{$bro}\n"; } print "------------------------------------------------\n"; } }
