Hi ,

How to get the length of Anonymous array.
In my code sometimes the Anonymous array is becoming empty want to go a head only if the array is not empty...how to do??

Thanks

You don't really need to check the length if all you want to know is if the array has something in it or not, you can just use "if" with "!" to see if it does:

@array = ();
$array_ref = \@array;
if (! @{$array_ref}) {
   print "Empty";
};

Note you do have to dereference the array reference to check its status (empty or not).
