How to count 3 keywords entered by the user..?

sub txtAnalyze {
my $self = shift;
my $text = $self->{TEXT}; ## Text that contains the keywords

my $key1_splited = $self->{EXTRAKEY};

my @key1_splited;
my $tmp;
my $var = ref($key1_splited);

my $size = scalar(@{$key1_splited});
print "THE the type is $var and size is $size <br>";

foreach $tmp (@{$key1_splited}){
print "Tmp splitted keys are: $tmp <br>"; # netscape, java, browser
}

I need to find the keywords in the text file and display the count.

How can i do that?

ozo

foreach $tmp (@{$key1_splited}){
my $count = () = $text =~ /\b\Q$tmp\E\b/gi;
print "Tmp splitted keys are: $tmp, count = $count<br>";
}

Thanks a million for your response.

The count works but doesn't seem like its counting right.
I added your code. It seems like it finds the word and count but does not count the entire text document...

Here's the output-

Extra keys are: 3 netscape
Extra keys are: 1 sizes
Extra keys are: 2 skipper

The html document that I am working with is -

Seems like its only counting the first paragraph..
How can I force it to count these words in the entire document.

Thanks

ozo

How are you reading the entire document?

The entire document it read from this ..
my $text = $self->{TEXT}; ## Text that contains the keywords

It dump ascii text - based on this-
my @text = split /\r?\n/, `lynx -dump -width=4000 $url`;

Hello Ozo,
I would like to know if you have had some time to review this question.
Thanks!

Thanks ozo for all your help.
Your suggestion as descript works wonderful.
But the reason it coesn't count some words is because of a word like "hey there mr.,SKIPPER; hello world"

There's a " , " Before the word and also " ; " after and as a result the KEYWORD gets ignored from the count.
Any suggestions on how to modify the script so it counts SKIPPER but ignores the comma and semicolon.

Here's the script you suggested-

foreach $tmp (@{$key1_splited}){
print "Tmp splitted keys are: $tmp <br>"; # netscape, java, browser
}

Thanks.
