Hi PerlMonks, I think that my problem is a rather trivial one for you perl gurus: I want to find the depth of a parse tree for natural language. I have filtered out the relevant features regarding the tree relations into a list of the following form: 1 -> 2 2 -> 0 3 -> 4 4 -> 2 5 -> 10 6 -> 10 7 -> 9 8 -> 9 9 -> 6 10 -> 4 11 -> 10 12 -> 10 13 -> 12 14 -> 10 15 -> 2 where the left (dependent) value points to the ancestor node. When all the nodes are traversed, I want to how many steps (or branches) there are between the root (0) and the most distant leaf. Any suggestions? I would be so grateful! Thanks in advance Katarina
