While discussing other methods that avoided regular expressions in the CB with bobf and nothingmuch, I mentioned an unpack/hash solution. nothinmuch asked to see it, so here is a highly untested alternative.
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
print str_count('ABAABAAAA', 'AA'), "\n";
sub str_count {
my ($str, $pat) = @_;
my %substr;
my ($p_len, $s_len) = (length $pat, length $str);
my $template = ("A$p_len" . 'X' . ($p_len - 1)) x ($s_len - $p_len
+ + 1);
$substr{$_}++ for unpack $template, $str;
return $substr{$pat};
}

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

Want more info? How to link
or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
