[Need help] perl script to find the occurance of string from a text file
I have two files
1. input.txt
2. keyword.txt

input.txt has contents like

Code:
.src_ref 0 "call.s" 24 first
      0x000000    0x5a80 0x0060         BRA.l 0x60
.src_ref 0 "call.s" 30 first
      0x000002    0x1bc5                RETI
.src_ref 0 "call.s" 31 first
      0x000003    0x6840                MOV R0L,R0L
.src_ref 0 "call.s" 35 first
      0x000004    0x1bc5                RETI

keyword.txt has contents

Code:
MOV
BRA.l
RETI
ADD
SUB
..
etc

Now I want to read this keyword.txt file and search it in input.txt file and find how many times MOV has occured,how many times BRA.l has occured and so on.

So far I have managed to get it working from a single file itself. here is the code

Code:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;

sub retriver();

my @lines;
my $lines_ref;
my $count;
$lines_ref=retriver();
@lines=@$lines_ref;
$count=@lines;
print "Count :$count\nLines\n";
print join "\n",@lines;

sub retriver()
{
    my $file='C:\Users\vk41286\Desktop\input.txt';
    open FILE, $file or die "FILE $file NOT FOUND - $!\n";
    my @contents=<FILE>;

    my @filtered=grep(/MOV R0L,R0L/,@contents);
    return \@filtered;
}

here i can search only MOV and i am unable to search other instructions like RETI.

I am a newbie on perl and this is not a assignment problem.

OUTPUT should be

Code:
MOV has occured 2  times
RETI has occured 1 time

Thanks for help/guide.

HTML Code:
P.S : This question was posted on stackoverflow and all I could get is bash script , single command line. 

But what I need to perl script.

test::regression

Test::Regression(3pm)					User Contributed Perl Documentation				     Test::Regression(3pm)

NAME

       Test::Regression - Test library that can be run in two modes; one to generate outputs and a second to compare against them

VERSION

       Version 0.05

SYNOPSIS

	 use Test::Regression;
	 ok_regression(sub {return "hello world"}, "t/out/hello_world.txt");

DESCRIPTION

       Using the various Test:: modules you can compare the output of a function against what you expect.  However if the output is complex and
       changes from version to version, maintenance of the expected output could be costly. This module allows one to use the test code to
       generate the expected output, so that if the differences with model output are expected, one can easily refresh the model output.

EXPORT

       ok_regression

FUNCTIONS

   ok_regression
       This function requires two arguments: a CODE ref and a file path.  The CODE ref is expected to return a SCALAR string which can be compared
       against previous runs.  If the TEST_REGRESSION_GEN is set to a true value, then the CODE ref is run and the output written to the file.
       Otherwise the output of the file is compared against the contents of the file.  There is a third optional argument which is the test name.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

   TEST_REGRESSION_GEN
       If the TEST_REGRESSION_GEN environment file is unset or false in a perl sense, then the named output files must exist and be readable and
       the test will run normally comparing the outputs of the CODE refs against the contents of those files. If the environment variable is true
       in a perl sense, then model output files will be overwritten with the output of the CODE ref.

BUGS

       Please report any bugs or feature requests to "bug-test-regression at rt.cpan.org", or through the web interface at
       <http://rt.cpan.org/NoAuth/ReportBug.html?Queue=Test-Regression>.  I will be notified, and then you'll automatically be notified of
       progress on your bug as I make changes.

   testing of STDERR
       The testing of stderr from this module is not as thorough as I would like. Test::Builder::Tester allows turning off of stderr checking but
       not matching by regular expression. Handcrafted efforts currently fall foul of Test::Harness.  Still it is I believe adequately tested in
       terms of coverage.

SUPPORT

       You can find documentation for this module with the perldoc command.

	   perldoc Test::Regression

       You can also look for information at:

       o   RT: CPAN's request tracker

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

       Some documentation improvements have been suggested by toolic (http://perlmonks.org/?node_id=622051).
       Thanks to Filip GraliXski for pointing out I need to test against output of zero length and providing a patch.
