And here is another solution:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
my @AoH = ({qw/ targetL foisonnement origin AMG count 1 /},
{qw/ targetL foisonnement origin IDBR count 1 /},
{qw/ origin IWWF targetL gonfler count 1 /},
{qw/ origin IWWF targetL due count 1 /},
{qw/ origin IWWF targetL due count 1 /});
my @AoHfinal =
({'targetL' => 'foisonnement', 'origin' => 'AMG IDBR', 'count' => '2
+'},
{'targetL' => 'gonfler', 'origin' => 'IWWF', 'count' => '1'
+},
{'targetL' => 'due', 'origin' => 'IWWF', 'count' => '2'
+});
my %out = (); my %seen = ();
my @out = ();
foreach (@AoH) {
if ($out{$_->{targetL}}) {
push @{$out{$_->{targetL}}->{origin}}, $_->{origin}
unless $seen{$_->{targetL}}{$_->{origin}}++;
$out{$_->{targetL}}{count} += $_->{count};
} else {
my $row = {targetL => $_->{targetL}, origin => [$_->{origin}],
count => $_->{count}};
$out{$_->{targetL}} = $row; push @out, $row;
$seen{$_->{targetL}}{$_->{origin}} = 1;
}
}
$_->{origin} = join(' ', @{$_->{origin}}) for @out;
use Test::More;
is_deeply(\@out, \@AoHfinal);
done_testing();
__END__
I think that the most notable difference in my solution is keeping the running origin values as an array until the very end, instead of repeating string manipulations. This preserves the order of both the targets and the origins while using only the core language — and a core module to verify the result.

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).
