Hi all!

There's a string function called 'length'. Just try:
$ perl -e '$a="seppel"; print "$a: ", length $a, "\n";'
seppel: 6
$ _
You can find a description in perlfunc(1) by searching for 'length'...

Yes, I'm pretty new to this list, and I have quite enjoyed reading and
browsing through the archives a bit. Again, hello everybody!
