title: How can I use Perl to sum up individual columns in a text file?
body: <p>I have large text files in this format and would like to do statistical analysis on these numbers, starting by adding the columns (ignoring the first line). I've tried looking at other examples and modifying them but my programming is poor! So I am wondering if someone could point me in the right direction, thanks!</p>
