Count all occurrences of characters from a given set in a string.
In the code below $CharSet is the set of characters to count. $SearchStr is the string to count them in.
my $Set = qr/[^$CharSet]/;
length join "", split $Set, $SearchStr;
Wrapped up in a rather more general sub:
sub CountSetChars
{
my $Count;
my $CharSet = shift;
my $Set = qr/[^$CharSet]/;
my $Param;
while ($Param = shift)
{
if (defined @$Param)
{map {$Count += CountSetChars ($CharSet, $_)} @$Param;}
elsif (ref $Param)
{$Count += length join "", split $Set, @$Param;}
else
{$Count += length join "", split $Set, $Param;}
}
return $Count;
}

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
