The following appears to do the trick. I've just dumped the results with Data::Dumper, so it's up to you to figure out who you want to format them.

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
$|++;

my %source;

# process file
while (<DATA>) {
  my ($source, $action, $sub_action) = split;
  my $source_action = $source . "||" . $action;
  # sub_action isn't required to appear

  $source{ $source }{ count }++;
  $source{ $source }{ $action }{ count }++;
  $source{ $source }{ $action }{ $sub_action }{ count }++ if $sub_acti
+on;
}

use Data::Dumper;
print Dumper \%source;

__DATA__
source1 QUEUED
source1 QUEUED
source1 CLICK linkid1
source1 CLICK linkid1
source1 CLICK linkid2
source2 QUEUED
source2 CLICK linkid1
source2 CLICK linkid1
source2 CLICK linkid2

Update: If Data::Dumper output bugs you, here's a quick hack at printing the results.

foreach my $source ( sort keys %source ) {
  print "$source\n\tcount: $source{$source}{count}\n";
  foreach my $action ( sort keys %{$source{$source}} ) {
    next if $action eq 'count';
    print "\t$action\n\t\tcount: $source{$source}{$action}{count}\n";
    foreach my $sub_action (sort keys %{$source{$source}{$action}} ) {
      next if $sub_action eq 'count';
      print "\t\t$sub_action\n\t\t\tcount: $source{$source}{$action}{$
+sub_action}{count}\n";
    }
  }
}
