The following works the same and may or may not be easier to
understand/maintain.
$tokenCount{$_} is automatically created with a value of 0 when first
called, and
then is incremented to 1, so you don't have to test or create it yourself.

  my @tokens = split /:/;
  for (@tokens) {
      $tokenCount{$_}++
  } # for

>My test run using this approach got the listing below per line of your
data:

You should get the same counts this way.

You can then either loop through an array/list of all possible phenomes if
you
want to print 0 values as well, or just "for (keys %tokenCount) {print}" if
you
only want to see counts on ones that exist.
