In the former case, perldoc -f length for finding the length of strings or for lists, if you use them in a scalar context will give you the number of elements, for instance: $size = scalar(@array); $size = scalar(keys(%hash)); In the latter case you may want to have a look at: perldoc perlrun In particular the section on "PERL_DEBUG_MSTATS" .... Or you may want to have a look at Devel::Size from CPAN: http://search.cpan.org/author/DSUGAL/Devel-Size-0.54/Size.pm http://danconia.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
