I got the following output:

From this data:
user="john" website="www.yahoo.com" type="Entertainment"
user="john" website="www.yahoo.com" type="Entertainment"
user="john" website="www.yahoo.com" type="Entertainment"
user="david" website="www.facebook.com" type="Social Networking"
user="john" website="www.facebook.com" type="Social Networking"
user="mike" website="www.google.com" type="Search Engines"
Notice that there are quotes surrounding every field. The regular expression that captures these fields from the file would need to be changed if thats not the case.
In my program I use 2 hashes - one to count the number of sites visited by each user, %count, and one to count each address and category (by user), %data.
It seems to work OK for this small data set.
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
my (%data, %count);
while (<DATA>) {
my ($user, $site, $cat) = /"([^"]+)"/g;
$data{$user}{ qq{$site$;$cat} }++;
$count{$user}++;
}
for my $user (sort keys %data) {
my $href = $data{$user};
print $user, "\n";
for my $key (keys %$href) {
my $str = sprintf "\tWebsite: %s, Category: %s\n", split /$;/,
+ $key;
print $str x $href->{$key};
}
}
my @ordered = sort {$count{$b} <=> $count{$a}} keys %count;
print "\n\n";
for my $user (@ordered) {
my $href = $data{$user};
print "Name: $user\n\tWebsite Count\n";
for my $key (sort {$href->{$b} <=> $href->{$a}} keys %$href) {
printf "\t%-20s%d\n", (split /$;/, $key)[0], $href->{$key};
}
print "\n";
print "\tType Count\n";
for my $key (sort {$href->{$b} <=> $href->{$a}} keys %$href) {
printf "\t%-20s%d\n", (split /$;/, $key)[1], $href->{$key};
}
print "\n\n";
}
The line
$data{$user}{ qq{$site$;$cat} }++; uses a 'compound' key ($site and $cat joined by $;).
Here is a dump of %data.
$VAR1 = {
'john' => {
'www.yahoo.com‡˜Entertainment' => 3,
'www.facebook.com‡˜Social Networking' => 1
},
'mike' => {
'www.google.com‡˜Search Engines' => 1
},
'david' => {
'www.facebook.com‡˜Social Networking' =>
}
};
Update: Whoops, that doesn't count the categories correctly :-(
If there was another site with the same category, it wouldn't be totaled with the same category from another site.

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).
