Size of a hash 2

[jerehart]

How do I figure out the size of a hash? I am looking for something similar to $#ARRAY for an array size. Is there another way other than traversing through the whole hash?

There's no "size" function that I am aware of, but this should work:

$i=0;
while (($key,$value) = each %YOURHASH) { $i++; }

Hope that helps,

Try out

$count = scalar keys %hash;

Should work.
