I'm trying to parse qmail-qread data, but don't know how to find the number of occurrences after a particular string. Here is the data:

How would I make it look for the (#) sign and count every occurence of the word(remote) below it? So the script would know that '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' sent 10 emails and that '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' sent 5 emails. Any help appreciated. Thank you.

my ( $key, %data );
while ( <> ) {
    if ( /#.*\s(\S+)/ ) {
        $key = $1;
        }
    elsif ( /\sremote\s/ ) {
        $data{ $key }++;
        }
    }

for my $key ( keys %data ) {
    print "'$key' sent $data{$key} emails.\n";
    }
