Dear Monks,

I have a list of elements (A, B, C, ...). They have a value :1, 2, 5 . These elements A, B, C can appear more than one time in the list.

I would like to supress the cases that appear more than one time in my list, and for those that appear more than one time, I would like that the values that appear in the left column are added

Here is the start file ("delay_${day}.csv")

1    A
0    B
3    C
0    A
2    C
5    A
3    E
1    E

Here is the file I would like to have in the end ("unique_delay_${day}.csv")

6    A
0    B
5    C
4    E
[download]

I have made a code, but it does not seem to work. Could you tell me where did I go wrong ?

#!/usr/bin/perl

use warnings;
