How does one find the total (sum) of an array? 8

[rdyoll]

Hi, let's say I have:

@numbers = qw/34 56 78 83 23 99 10/;

How can I find the "sum" of all the elements in the array?

I've tried pushing a "+" (plus sign) into the array and adding it up that way, but there has to be a better way.

The total is 383, but, I don't know the routine to follow to calculate this properly. Anyone?

The beauty of Coderifous script is that it truly demonstrates TMTOWTDI. I wouldn't have thought of

[red]$total = eval join '+', @numbers;[/red]

... in a million years!
