I don't think this is the best way to do it, but it sure was fun to write:

my $eval;
my %hash;

# Find all three letter occurences, and combine them into one eval sta
+tment.
while (<>){
    $eval = '$hash ';
    while (/(...)/g){
        $eval .= "{'$1'}"
    }
    $eval .= "++;"
    eval ($eval); # You should probably do some error checking at this
+ point.
}
for (keys %hash){
    hashValue ($hash{$_});
}

# You got to love recursive functions ;)
sub hashValue {
    my $hash = @_[0];
    if (defined %$hash){
        for (keys %$hash){
            hashValue ($$hash{$_});
        }
    } else {
        print $hash; # Or do whatever you like with the value
    }
}

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.
