in reply to Golf: Improve this guy's fail . . . please!
Following from a brain dump I made on IRC, and since nobody here seems to have looked at perl's command line switches:
#!/usr/bin/env perl -aF'' -nl
$t += @F;
$c{$_}++ for @F;
END {
printf("%s\t%d\t%.3f\n", $_, $c{$_}, $c{$_} / $t) for keys %c;
print "Total: $t"
}
Of course the simplest solution from IRC was say `wc -c @ARGV`
