in reply to Tallying appearance of a unique string from hash keys

If we take %hash as a given and the code is immutable, I think you can get statistics this way.

use English '-no_match_vars'; my %appearances_of; $appearances_of{$_}++ for map { split /\Q$SUBSCRIPT_SEPARATOR/ } keys %hash;

Easier than that, however, is to collect the numbers as you're collecting %hash.

$hash{$1,$3} = "$holder"; # add these lines: $appearances_of{$1}++; $appearances_of{$3}++;

Update: Come to think of it, those don't do the same thing at all. Now I'm not sure I answered the question asked in either case.

    Hello, I've discovered that my random hashes based on my above code are not actually random, but are biased based on the original network. What I should do is outlined in my pseudocode, some elements of which I am having trouble with:
    #read IDs into %edges using match operator /(\S*)(\t)(\S*)/ and specia +l variables $1, $3 for each ID per line #assign IDs as format $edge{ID1,ID2} #skip edge assignment if ID2,ID1 already exists .. the network needs t +o be undirected such that ID2-ID1 is equivalent to ID1-ID2 and should + therefore not be counted twice #populate hash of unique IDs from %edges #create array of unique IDs from hash of unique IDs .... @uniqIDs, $un +iqIDs[0]=ID1, uniqIDs[1]=ID2 etc .. how do i do this? #initialize degree counter hash (IDs are keys, values are degrees) usi +ng @uniqIDs with foreach #go through %edges and increment %counter for each ID #generate random network with rand(int(scalar(@uniqIDs))), discard ran +dom picks if they already exist or represent undirected equivalent #initialize random network degree counter hash, and then count random +network degrees as before
    I'm already stuck at how to skip an edge assignment if $2,$1 exists. Then, how can I populate a new hash of unique IDs? Again, the problem of excluding something if it already exists.
    my $filename = "edges.txt"; #Set a variable for our file name open(my $fh, "<", $filename) or die "Can't open file $filename."; #Op +en the file edges.txt while (<$fh>) { if ($_ =~ m/(\S+)\t(\S+)/) { #Match the IDs in the fil +e to $1 and $2 $edge{$1,$2}= $holder; #assign IDs as format $edge +{ID1,ID2} close $fh; #Close the file edges.txt my @list = keys %edge; print "@list\n"; #Prints the list of keys, but they are un +i-directional (i.e. repeated for ID1-ID2 and ID2-ID1)
    Once I have these steps, I can proceed to counting and using the unique IDs list to create my random networks.
