I agree your original question is wrong, if you wanted output like that, but here's how I did it: (you're lucky I was bored this morning...)
use strict;
my %hh;
#read in...
while (<DATA>) {
my ($k, $v) = split /\s*,\s*/;
chomp $v;
$hh{$k}{$v}++;
}
#now to print out...
foreach my $k (sort {$a cmp $b} keys %hh) {
my $tlist = '';
my $tally = 0;
foreach my $v (sort {$a cmp $b} keys %{$hh{$k}}) {
$tally += $hh{$k}{$v};
$tlist .= "$v, ";
}
chop $tlist; chop $tlist; #remove trailing ', '
print "$tally\t$k\t$tlist\n";
}
__DATA__
abcd, GB
abcd, UK
abcd, US
addd, US
(hopefully there aren't any typos. I wrote/tested on another machine and typed in by hand...)
Update: fixed a typo in code "== split" should be "= split";
