Ugly, off-the-top-of-my-head idea. This depends on having no space characters in the keywords - I suppose you can use \0 as a separator if you need to, but I found ' ' easier to type:

use Math::Combinatorics;

my $nwordsatonce = 4;
my ($k,$v);
my %totals = ();
local $" = ' ';  # just in case
while (($k,$v) = each %items)
{
  next unless $nwordsatonce <= @$v;
  my @words = sort @$v;
  do {$totals{"@$_"} += 1;} for combine($nwordsatonce,@words);
}

my @comb = sort {$totals{$b} <=> $totals{$a}} keys %totals;
print "Top $nwordsatonce - word combinations:\n";
do {print "$_\n";} for @comb[0..4];

I'm a bit curious where this data is coming from.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
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).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
