That's how I tried to solve this piecewise, I thought
an array was necessary, or at least, it seemed logical
to me.  (another example of TMTOWTDI)
I don't understand this syntax: 

$linehash{$1}++;

I understand that $linehash{$1} refers to a single key
within a key value pair of the hash, and I think the
++ is for incrementing each player's line, but I don't
understand how it works.
Could you explain it to me?


Thanks a bunch for the help! -stu
