if you need good performance, use "Inline::C".
e.g.:
use Inline C;
print "Char in Str: ". chCnt( 'a', 'ajhajhhjajhjajh' ). "\n";
### you get:
### Char in Str: 4
__DATA__
__C__
int chCnt ( char lookChar, char *str ) {
char c;
int i = 0;
int currCnt = 0;
while ( c = str[i++] )
{
if ( c == lookChar )
{
++currCnt;
}
}
return currCnt;
}
