in reply to Question about ++ and hash value

++ is the auto-increment operator.
$hash{$line} is a hash assignment

So $hash{$line}++ auto-increments the value of $hash{$line}

    Ok thanks, so I guess that each value increases by how many occurances there are of the key in the hash. Is this the understanding?
