[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.
