Given the code supplied, unsure what you are really trying to do. If an array is not empty, then the test scalar(@value) would come back true.
If you could supply more code, errors generated, etc, might give the list a little more info on what is really happening.

The following code fails: if ( $i != NULL ) { if ($j < 10) { print DUMPFILE " $j) ", "$value[$i]\n" ; } else { print DUMPFILE " $j) ", "$value[$i]\n" ; } } as I have: use strict; At the very top. But I need a way to check and see if the array is empty... (4 items, but can have 20) How would I do this???
