This is a crude form.. written quickly in 5 mins. It's not efficient and is a dirty job. If you see.. there are nested loops and if you have large input and keyword files, it might bring down the efficiency.
Code:
#! /usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;

my ( %keywords );
my ( $line, $key, $value );

open K, "< keyword.txt";
while ( $line = <K> ) {
    chomp ( $line );
    $keywords { $line } = 0;
}
close K;

open I, "< input.txt";
while ( $line = <I> ) {
    chomp ( $line );
    foreach $key ( keys %keywords ) {
        while ( $line =~ /$key/g ) {
            $keywords{ $key }++;
        }
    }
}
close I;

while ( ( $key, $value ) = each %keywords ) {
    print "$key has occured $value times.\n";
}
