+# Author: Steven Wilson

+# Week: 032
+
+# Task #1
+
+# Count instances
+# Create a script that either reads standard input or one or more files
+# specified on the command-line. Count the number of times and then
+# print a summary, sorted by the count of each entry.
+# So with the following input in file example.txt
+# apple
+# banana
+# apple
+# cherry
+# cherry
+# apple
+# the script would display something like:
+# apple     3
+# cherry    2
+# banana    1
+# For extra credit, add a -csv option to your script, which would generate:
+# apple,3
+# cherry,2
+# banana,1
+
+use strict;
+use warnings;
+use feature qw/ say /;
+
+my %word_count;
+my $delimiter = "\t";
+if ( $ARGV[0] eq "-csv" ) {
+    shift @ARGV;
+    $delimiter = ",";
+}
+
+for my $file (@ARGV) {
+    open my $fh, '<', $file or die "Can't open < $file: $!";
+    while ( !eof $fh ) {
+        my $word = readline $fh;
+        chomp $word;
+        $word_count{$word} += 1;
