This may be more of a sql question. Here is my code without my dbi connect.

 my $query = "SELECT DISTINCT a.vol_id, a.vol_nbr, 
                              a.vol_mnt_req, a.vol_ser         
                              c.vol_juke, c.vol_stat
                    FROM 
                        (select * from volume_index) a,
                        (select * from volume_queue) c
                    WHERE a.vol_id = c.vol_id 
                    AND a.vol_mnt_req is not null 
                    AND c.vol_stat != 'M' 
                    OR a.vol_mnt_req is not null 
                    AND a.vol_nbr != '1'";
        my $data = send_recv($query);
        
        my (@rows) = split(/\n/, $data);
        foreach my $rows (@rows) {  
          my ($id,$vnbr,$req,$ser,$juke,$stat) = split(/;/, $rows);
              print "$label $volnbr\n";
        }

This works exactly how i want, but i like to have a count of total number of rows in the same query. Here is a few things of tried:
select distinct count(*) then the rest of the select statment.

from (select count(*) from volume_index) a,
(select * from volume_index) a,
(select * from volume_queue) c
Both failed. any help would be appreciated.
