What, exactly, do you expect 
  while($count < $process(@processlist)){
      $count++;
  }

to do for you? Specifically, what do you think   $process(@processlist) evaluates to?

    Well, thanks, figured that out. 
    while($count < @processlist){
    $count++
}

    But, now my count is set to the number of the last process. It doesn't start at 0, even though I have it set in $count = 0;
    Any clues?

        or even ...
        $count = $#processlist - 1;

        Sorry, that didn't work. It just returned the value of 38.
        Thanks
