What is the easiest way to get a count of a certain character in a string.
For instance if I wanted to count periods in an FAQ line like:

1.4.6.3

The item you are reading is nested 3 levels deep.  How do I get the count.

$count = $faqline =~ s/\./\./;

does that work?  Or is:

$_ = $faqline;
$count = s/\./\./;

More appropriate.  Or am I totally wrong.
