Hey Steven,         

My MUA believes you used MIME::Lite 1.2  (F2.71; T1.001; A1.51; B2.12; Q2.03)
to write the following on Sunday, January 19, 2003 at 7:24:01 PM.

SJ> How do I count the number of words in a line?  I need to convert
SJ> some astronomy data which has floats, integers and commas in the
SJ> string and massage this data into something more palatable to the
SJ> application.

Type the following at a command prompt;
perldoc -q "How do I process each word on each line?"
