in reply to system command

Thanks everyone for the help. I got a chance to learn couple of new things. BTW even after looking at the examples you guys provided i couldn't get it to run for so long because i didn't realise that i have to use ` instead i was using single code.
Thanks again, Gaurav

    There is more than one way ...
    :) 
    open( FH, "file_name" ) or die $!;
@lines = <FH>;
$num_of_lines = @lines;
print "NUm of lines : $num_of_lines\n";
