Subject: How many elements are there in a hash?
Hi,
I've got a number of elements that are specified in a hash.
I need to find out the number of elements in the hash.
Is there any quick way, like $#array for arrays.
I can always move through the keys and increment a counter, but I'm
looking for a shortcut.
thanks.
George P.
