Hi Monks!
I have this text file similar to the one here that I am trying to find how many items are there for each account number ( position 2 in the array for account number) in adding its total ( position 7 in the array), I am checking for duplicates, but that part I got it, but getting lost on the best way to get the items counted and the total from each account followed by the grand total.
Thanks for looking! 

#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;

my %seen=();
my %count;
my @flds; my @g_total;

while (<DATA>){
chomp;

# get rid of dup lines
next if $seen{$_}++;


@flds=split /,/;

# look up accounts in array position 2 and count  its accuracies and a
+dd amounts from position arrays 7 fro each one.
if (!$seen{$flds[2]}++){
    
  if($flds[2] eq $flds[2]){
    $flds[7]+=$flds[7];
    print "From Account# $flds[2] - Total = $flds[7]\n";
  }

 push @g_total, $flds[7]+=$flds[7];
 
}

print "\nGrand Total = $g_total[0]\n";
