build hash of hashes of hashes ...

I have a file:

pkgName       uuName      tid      status      date1       date2

I need to build a hash containing counts for each uuName, for each group of
packages (where $pkgGroup = substr($pkgName, 0, 4)) for each status, ie.
$pkgCounts{'ve00208'}{'PWCT'}{'Closed'} should return 2
$pkgCounts{au00208}{'PWXX'}{'Pending'} should return 1 ...

This is done in a subroutine. $pkgCounts is then returned to main for referencing
