And then to sum up the rest ... `use List::Util qw(sum); my $sum = sum(@all);` [download] Update: or just drop the pop and dice up a slice: `my $sum = sum( @all[0 .. $#all-1] );` [download] jeffa L-LL-L--L-LL-L--L-LL-L-- -R--R-RR-R--R-RR-R--R-RR B--B--B--B--B--B--B--B-- H---H---H---H---H---H--- (the triplet paradiddle with high-hat)	[reply] [d/l] [select]

I appreciate the answer. You obviously know Perl really well. Me; not so good. So what would I ask perldocs to get to pop (which I am now looking up in perldocs)? To clarify, how would I phrase my question in perldocs to get perldocs to tell me about pop without me mentioning pop? -- ellem@optonline.net There's more than one way to do it, but only some of them actually work.

pop is a built-in function. You can find docs on these funtions with the `-f` option: `perldoc -f pop` [download] jeffa L-LL-L--L-LL-L--L-LL-L-- -R--R-RR-R--R-RR-R--R-RR B--B--B--B--B--B--B--B-- H---H---H---H---H---H--- (the triplet paradiddle with high-hat)	[reply] [d/l]
