Does anyone know of any sort of a function or method in perl that returns the number of times a search string exists in a scalar. Say, how many "a's" are there in this sentence? I am able to write it myself, but I was wondering if Perl had an inherent function for cleaner operation. I tried looking through the list of functions at www.perldoc.com without success. Thanks a lot for any help.
