How do you print the hash with freq?

Why don't you show us more code, as it's hard to tell if you've gone wrong in the loop you left off.

...On further review, your code needs scrubbing. For instance, you have 

open(PFILE, "Activatepasswords.txt")|| die "Cannot open patterns1.txt 
+file";

If the open fails, your error message reports on a different file?

You'll get better answers if you clearly state the problem, and reduce the code to the minimal set that repeats the symptoms.

Sorry I couldn't be more helpful, it's bobos for me.
