Hi Peter What about Devel::Size (hmm... never tried myself): "total_size($ref) The total_size function will traverse the variable and look at the sizes of contents. Any references contained in the variable will also be followed, so this function can be used to get the total size of a multidimensional data structure. At the moment there is no way to get the size of an array or a hash and its elements without using this function." http://search.cpan.org/~dsugal/Devel-Size-0.59/Size.pm joe -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
