That does NOT give you the number of elements in an array. That gives you the index of the last element in the array. $ perl -le' @array = qw/ a b c d e f /; print q(The number of elements in @array is ), scalar @array; print q(The last element in @array is at ), $#array; ' The number of elements in @array is 6 The last element in @array is at 5 John -- use Perl; program fulfillment -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
