in thread Getting size of call stack

I tweaked it a bit, setting $depth to -1

Wouldn't your subroutine always return -1? Shouldn't your GetCallStackDepth look more like:

sub GetCallStackDepth { my $depth = 1; # 0 is this sub, why bother checking it? $depth++ while caller($depth); return $depth - 1; }

    Duh. Yes, of course. Returning $depth - 1 is what I actually did, and on my way from the editor to here, I thought, "Hey, I can save a step by just initializing $depth to -1 to begin with!". And I wrote it down before I actually tried it.

    Busted...
