This code will recurse through the elements,
and print the number of array-elements for each
array in your structure. Will not decent hashes
but can be hacked a bit to do that as well.
use strict;
my @a = ([([0..3] ) x 4]) x 3;
arraylength( \@a );
sub arraylength{
my $a = shift;
my $dim = 0;
_length( $a, $dim );
}
sub _length{
my $a = shift;
my $dim = shift;
if ( ref( $a ) =~ /ARRAY/ ){
print "\t" x $dim;
print "dim $dim -> ".(scalar @$a)." elements";
print "\n\n" if $dim == 0;
print "\n" if $dim == 1;
_length( $_, $dim + 1) for ( @$a );
print "\n";
}
}
This example prints:
dim 0 -> 3 elements
dim 1 -> 4 elements
dim 2 -> 4 elements
dim 2 -> 4 elements
dim 2 -> 4 elements
dim 2 -> 4 elements
dim 1 -> 4 elements
dim 2 -> 4 elements
dim 2 -> 4 elements
dim 2 -> 4 elements
dim 2 -> 4 elements
dim 1 -> 4 elements
dim 2 -> 4 elements
dim 2 -> 4 elements
dim 2 -> 4 elements
dim 2 -> 4 elements
