Try this or something like this.

I ought to point out that in a subsequent JRuby run
owtdi user = 1.625 and tmtowtdi user = 1.809,
and in another run owtdi user = 2.118 and tmtowtdi user = 1.987,
so quite variable! But there was quite a lot of apparently random and
purposeless disk i/o going on while the benchmarks were running. (Thank you,
Windows Vista!) So I would place even less reliance than usual on these
benchmarks. But using inject does seem significantly slower, especially so
using 1.8.6.

Harry showed the way:

>> Hash[arr.group_by {|o| o}.collect{|k,v| [k,v.size]}]
=> {"a"=>2, "b"=>3, "c"=>2}

Check this out

['a', 'b', 'a', 'b', 'c', 'c',
'c'].group_by{|o|o}.collect{|k,v|{k,v.size}}.to_yaml"

Result:
- a: 2
- b: 2
- c: 3

In Ruby 1.9 there's Enumerator#with_object, which is a nice way to avoid
that "; h" thing that you have to do in #inject to make it return the
accumulator:

count_hash = a.each.with_object(Hash.new(0)) {|e, hash| hash[e] += 1 }
