Transition Matrix Operator: simple question

Hi!

I've just started with rapidminer and think it's amazing.  Being relatively new to data mining and machine learning, I'm starting simple, and so please forgive me if this question is naive.

I created a process (XML later) to generate some nominal data so I could try to understand the "transition matrix" operator.

The code results in the following transition matrix:

value0 0.0 0.3386693346673337 0.0
value1 0.0 0.33316658329164583 0.0
value2 0.0 0.0 0.3281640820410205

Now, I'm sure it's because I don't know what I'm looking at, but I wrote a quick perl script to calculate what I thought was the same thing, and it produced the following result (from the same example set that generated the above transition matrix):

        value0  value1  value2
value0  0.325  0.360  0.315
value1  0.366  0.297  0.336
value2  0.323  0.341  0.335

So you can see that my perl code reveals my (perhaps mis-) understanding that the rows of the transition matrix should total 1.

It's obvious to me that I don't understand the nuance in the description of the Transition Matrix operator:

This operator calculates the transition matrix of a specified attribute, i.e. the operator counts how often each possible nominal value follows after each other.

Would some kind soul please put me out of my misery and explain what it is I am seeing when I look at the output of the Transition Matrix operator?

Many thanks!
Here's the XML for the process I created:

?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
<process version="5.1.014">
  <context>
    <input/>
    <output/>
    <macros/>
  </context>

      <portSpacing port="sink_result 2" spacing="0"/>
      <portSpacing port="sink_result 3" spacing="0"/>
    </process>
  </operator>
</process>

Here's my perl script:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
my $curr_state;
my %trans;
my %state_counts;
<>;
while(<>){
  my ($state,undef) =split /,/;
  $state_counts{$state}++;
  if($curr_state){
    $trans{$curr_state}->{$state}++;
  }
  $curr_state = $state;
}

print "\t",join("\t",(sort keys %state_counts)),"\n";
foreach $curr_state (sort keys  %trans){
  print $curr_state;
  foreach (sort keys %{$trans{$curr_state}}){
    print "\t",sprintf("%0.3f",$trans{$curr_state}->{$_}/$state_counts{$curr_state});
    #print join(",",$curr_state,$_,$trans{$curr_state}->{$_}/$state_counts{$curr_state}),"\n";
  }
  print "\n";
}
