Re: Getting the length of an array that is a reference...

You can also use $#{$array} to get the length..

Hi,

I have a reference to an array $ref_arr

I want the length of the array. normally just getting the length one
would write something along the lines of:
     $length = @#array; # Unless I am mistaken.

How do I find the length if I have a reference?

Cheers
Hamish
