Re: Array length with range operator

[Happy-the-monk]

or try this ;-)

perl -wE'say scalar @{["aa".."zz"]}'

Thanks.

Good trick.

Anonymous array - then convert the ref. back to array and apply scalar to it.

Also works for "highest index" rather than "number of elements":

>perl -wMstrict -lE
"say scalar $#{[ 'aa' .. 'zz' ]};
"
675

Or insert commata and count them ;-)

perl -wE "say 1 + join(',','aa' .. 'zz') =~ tr/,//;"
