I don't think this is the best way to do it, but it sure was fun to write: 
my $eval;
my %hash;

# Find all three letter occurences, and combine them into one eval sta
+tment.
while (<>){
    $eval = '$hash ';
    while (/(...)/g){
        $eval .= "{'$1'}"
    }
    $eval .= "++;"
    eval ($eval); # You should probably do some error checking at this
+ point.
}
for (keys %hash){
    hashValue ($hash{$_});
}

# You got to love recursive functions ;)
sub hashValue {
    my $hash = @_[0];
    if (defined %$hash){
        for (keys %$hash){
            hashValue ($$hash{$_});
        }
    } else {
        print $hash; # Or do whatever you like with the value
    }
}
