Folks,

Jason answered Matthew's question (below) with a perl script.

Having just seen some tiny perl scripts to emulate common perl
utilities, e.g., "perl -pe11..exit" replaces "head", I thought
Jason's perl script a little to long. The following uses those
command line utilities to produce the report of my history.

    $ perl -lne'/^(?:sudo )?(\S+)/ and print $1' ~/.bash_history|sort|uniq -c|sort -rn

     34	ls
     23	clear
     18	vi
     18	perl
     15	cat
     12	cd
      9	host
      6	ssh
      6	less
      6	apt-cache

Yours sincerely,
