I'm not sure why you are trying XML::Simple as there doesn't seem to be any XML involved. For data storage, you seem to need a hash of hashes. I'll assume you can get the IP and email address from the file.

my %users;

foreach my $line (<$file>) {
  my ($email, $ip) = parse_line($line);
  $users{$email}{$ip}++;
}

Then you'll have a hash that looks something like:

%users = (
          'joe@example.com' => {
                                 '192.168.10.24' => 2,
                                 '192.168.10.28' => 1
                               }
        );

Yes! I can get the IP and the email. That little bit is enough to get me started. I really didn't know how to load and reference a hash with values. ...and no, I guess I didn't need XML at all. Thank you very much. This will give me a greater appreciation of how this works and a solid footing to start from. Thank you so much.	[reply]
