Re^2: How to get the TOTAL length/size of an array?

Doesn't work if the strings contain a backslash.

@a = ('a\\b');
print length(Dumper @a)-2*@a;  # 4

map{substr$_->[0],$_->[1]||0,1}[\*||{},3],[[]],[ref qr-1,-,-1],[{}],[sub{}^*ARGV,3]

well I've said approximation and did put "work" in quotes. But granted I had other problems in mind than backslashes... edit also single quotes; `DB<27> @a=("'"); DB<28> p length(Dumper @a)-2*@a 2` [download] Cheers Rolf _{(addicted to the Perl Programming Language :) see Wikisyntax for the Monastery}	[reply] [d/l]
