Don't know why??? 
sub log
{
my $log_file = "log.txt";
open(LOGFILE, "$log") or die("Could not open log file.");
#my %seen;
my %seen = ();
my %typeseen = ();

# read it in
my $test = "Home Company";
while(<LOGFILE>)
{
    next unless /($test)\*(.*?)\*(.*?)\*(.*?)\*(.*?)\*(.*?)\*(.*?)\*(.
+*?)$/;

    my ($item, $logintype) = ($1, $4);
    #print $item;
    $seen{$item}++;
    $typeseen{$item}{$logintype}++;
}

# dump it out
foreach my $item (sort keys %seen)
{
  print "$item:<br>\n";
  print "\tLog in activity: ", $seen{$item}, "<br>\n";

  foreach my $type (sort keys %{$typeseen{$item}})
  {
    print "\t", $type, " activity: ", $typeseen{$item}{$type}, "<br>\n
+";

 }
