my %counts={};
I think you need parentheses rather than curlies there. As it is, you are assigning a single hash reference to the hash, which it will then stringify and use as a key with no corresponding value. Also, if you use warnings;, I think you will get one complaining about odd number of elements in hash assignment, or words to that effect. Trying it I get this.
$ perl -MData::Dumper -Mstrict -wle '
> my %h = {};'
> print Data::Dumper->Dump( [ \ %h ], [ qw{ *h } ] );'
Reference found where even-sized list expected at -e line 2.
%h = (
'HASH(0x817f880)' => undef
);
$
I hope this is useful.

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).
