Hi all,

	I'm really stupid lately with Perl and stuff, but I got this list
of screen names and I made it into an array in perl called @sns.  I want
to count the amount of times each name shows up in that array and I want
to make an array of each name in the original array, but only occuring
once.

...is my original array but I want a new array with each name in this
array appearing only once and count each name's occurance in an additional
array, even a 2d array works. (if you can do that in Perl...?)

Thanks a lot,
Christopher J. Umina
