I think the problem is that you can't introduce a hash variable into a standard variable so perl just leaves $count = 0

`$foo = @bar` is a method for puting an element count into $foo, I like the suggestion to use the scalar command al la `for ($i=0;$i <= scalar(@foo);$i) {print $foo[$i],"\n"}` Forgetting to try escaping the . wasn't so bright. Thanks for the help guys Vec	[reply] [d/l] [select]
