in reply to Counter - number of tags per interval

Your description of your purpose is very scant; it is not easily discerned from the code; and run against your sample inputs it produces:

C:\test>1032018 -i 1032018-1.dat -t 1032019-2.dat
$VAR1 = {
          '' => {
                  '' => {
                          '' => 0
                        }
                }
        };

Which is less than informative. Could you post sufficient (matching) input data to allow it to produce enough output that the purpose becomes clear?

In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.
