HI i have the script for finding the occurence of the number data in each file in a directory, but it gives me a wrong output ie the frequency number gets added up for each next number from other file. 
 #!usr/bin/perl
use strict;
opendir(DIR, "") or die "$!";
my @files =grep {/\.out$/} readdir (DIR);
my %frequency;
foreach my $file(@files){
open(FR,$file);
while(<FR>){
my @column = split ' ' or next;
$frequency{$column[2]}++;
}
{

local($\,$,) = ("\n","\t");
my @max = sort {$frequency{$b} <=> $frequency{$a}}  keys %frequency;

print "$max[0]=$frequency{$max[0]}\n";
}
}
closedir (DIR);

this gives me an output as given below where 1st column is the number which is equal to the frequency

65705=95 65705=210 65705=266 65705=266

which is wrong cause wen i checked indivual file frequency it gave me an output as 65705 115 for file1 32987 74 for file2

In reply to frequecny of occurence showing an error by extrem
