Hello everyone, I want to count hash keys. I originally tried
my $count = scalar %hash; which when printed gave the string 411/1024. I looked this up in perldoc perldata and sort of understand the significance of this result in terms of buckets. So I tried this in a driver where I varied the size of the test hash: my $count = scalar (keys %hash); print "$count\n"; and it seemed to work. I just want to make sure that this is in fact a true result that applies to hashes of any size, and not some crazy perl-guts coincidence. I skimmed the llama, camel, and cookbook, but I guess what I am wanting to do is so basic it doesn't need [readily apparent] mention. thanks, nathanael -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
