in reply to How to create histogram

First, some examples of what you have, what you want, and what you have tried would be very helpful.

One of my favorite ways to count items is with a hash, as in this example:

#!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; use Data::Dumper; # Assuming these are [ in, out ] my @travel_times = ( [ 1, 5 ], [ 2, 5 ], [ 20, 15 ], ); my %count; foreach my $time (@travel_times) { $count{in }{ $time->[0] }++; $count{out}{ $time->[1] }++; } print Dumper \%count;
Output is:
$VAR1 = { 'out' => { '15' => 1, '5' => 2 }, 'in' => { '1' => 1, '2' => 1, '20' => 1 } };
