Some useful starting information:
- Files and I/O in perlintro talks about how to open and read a file.
- You need to define what you mean by a 'word'. I know that sounds a bit strange at first, but that will control how you split your sentences up.
- length and split will probably be very useful functions, though you may use other variants on regular expressions for the line parsing.
- For all word counts, you'll definitely want to use a hash.
Post code that you've written, and we'll be happy to give both syntactic and stylistic feedback. However, we're here to help you learn, and learning generally takes a lot of work on your part. See How do I post a question effectively?.
