You're right. :)

This really should be a job for tr///, shouldn't it?

my $string = '5mb of stuff'; my $count = $string =~ tr/\0/\0/;

(I probably just missed seeing that proposed somewhere within the thread.)

Update: Ah, I see it's the first thing you proposed (good job). This is probably a good time for me to walk away from the keyboard for awhile. ;)
