    produces ú rather than £

      Thanks a lot guys for your help, as i'm still learning perl, i'm not too sure how exactly this line of code works:

      Code:
      $count{$mark} = () = $text =~ m/(\Q$mark\E)/g
      specifically, why does the " = () = " part need to be in there, what does it do?

        Thanks guys

        here is what i've come up with, would appreciate any comments and suggestions.

        Code:
        #!c:/Perl/bin/perl.exe

print("Please type in the file name\n");
$file= <STDIN>;
open(FILE, "$file") || die "Couldn't open file: $!";


$text  = join(//,<FILE>);
@marks = ( '!', '"', '\'', '\(', '\)', ',', '-', '\.', '/', ':',
        ...

          Counting Punctuation Characters in a text file

          Hi

          I'm a complete newbie at Perl and i was wondering if i can get some help completing an exercise i've come across.

          I need to count the punctuation marks from a text file and then output a list of all occurring punctuation marks with its frequency printed next to it.

          eg

          2 hyphens
          3 commas
          4 periods
          etc
          etc

          Not even sure where to begin, the exercise...
