Do you want the number of lines in a file? If so open the file, loop through
the lines keeping a counter, and then close it.
Or having recently read a similar thread on a Perl newsgroup, it might be
worth considering using the 'wc' command, if you're on Unix. I don't tend to
like spawning external programs within a script, but it's hard to argue with
the benchmarks for larger files.
