    Do for the real juice:

    wc -c *.pm | tail -1

      Even better, if I wasn't curious about the individual items, I would have done:
      $ cat **/*.pm | wc -l

      Followup: see Re^5: Large Scale Perl Projects.. this syntax means something in bash and zsh.

        Ok, why the '**'? There has to be a reason over '*'.
