Hello Monks,
I have a hash of hashes in the following format. 
%HoH = (
    '192.168.0.1' => {
        user   => "fred",
        pass   => "barney",
    },
    '192.168.0.2' => {
    user   => "george",
        pass   => "tester",
    },
    '192.168.0.3' => {
        user   => "homer",
        pass   => "abc123",
    },
    '192.168.0.6' => {
        user   => "fred",
        pass   => "barney",
    },
);

Now i need to count the unique users ('user') from this Hash of hashes. Would anyone suggest me a best way for performing this operation.
For the above example the count should 3 since the user 'fred' exists twice.
Thanks !
