Hi,

How can I obtain the size of an array that was passed as a reference.

ex:

&something(\@v1,\@v2);

sub something{
my($arr1,$arr2)=@_;

#get size of arr1?
}

I know I can loop through all the items by setting up a foreach(@$arr) but the regular old $# doesn't seem to work.

I also don't want to make a copy of this as an array, I want to keep it as a reference.

Thanks!
Aaron

The way you would have done with any other array

my $count = @{$arr1};
print $count;

This should work:)
