Hello perlmonks I'm in need of perl wisdom again. I'm trying to write a program to open a text file, and count how many words are in the file, which I was able to do. What I'm having troubles with is sorting and print a list of unique words with the number of occurances of each word, please help perl monks. This is what I have until now 
#!/usr/local/bin/perl

print "Please put the name of the file you want to count the words";
$file= <STDIN>;
chomp $file;


my $words=0;

open(FILE, $file) or die $!;;

while (<FILE>) {
        $words += scalar(split(/\s+/, $_));
}
@word = split(/ /, $file);
@sort= sort(@word);

print ("The number of words in the file is $words\n\n");
print "@sort\n";
