Hi Monks,

Currently I am trying to get the length of the multidimensional array based on some index position. The values are Boolean. I want to count the index (x,2) value equals to ‘1’.

I got the answer for the below code. Please suggest any other smart way to get this?

Thanks 
@select = (
['AAA','A Description',1,0],
['BBB','B Description',0,0],
['CCC','C Description',0,0],
['DDD','D Description',1,0],
['EEE','E Description',1,0],
);

for (my $i=0; $i<@select; $i++)
{
    $length++ if($select[$i][2]);
}

print "\nSelective Length : ", $length; 
=output
3
=cut
