Re: Length of 2-dimensional array

-- Oops. I apparently was not clear enough, many apologies.

Here's what I have coming into a sub:

my $data = $_[0];
foreach(@$data){ #These three lines I wanted to replace
$length_of_data++;
}

The actual argument passed to the sub is a 2 dim array
looking like @array[dunno_how_long_this_is][2];
I need to know how many of element dunno_how_long_this_is there are
Make better sense?

The above code works fine, and is efficient enough, I just
like to use elegant Perl constructs when I'm smart enough
to figure them out

I'm sorry, but you are still not clear. Do you want the 'inner' of the 'outer' length? If you want the inner length (first dimension), just skip the sub and use `$inner_length = @$data;` If you want the outer (second) dimension, drop the sub as well: `$outer_length = @{$data->[$iwannanowthalengthdude]};` Hope this helps, Jeroen "We are not alone"(FZ)	[reply] [d/l] [select]
