I'm sure there is a better way, but you could do it this way:

foreach(keys %hash){
   $count++;
}

print "$count keys.\n";

Subject: Counting pairs in a hash.

All,
 
What is the simplest way to find out how many pairs I have in a hash?
 
I am putting a variable number in when reading data from a file, and I
then need to split the file in half for display.
 
Thx,
 
Glenn.
