[Brisbane-pm] Counting elements in a 2D array

[Martin Jacobs]

Hi folks,

How do I count the number of elements in a 2D array.

I have an array called @rainrecord, which has a number of elements  
$rainrecord[x][y].

If I do

$Last_line_in_Rainfall_data_array = $#rainrecord;

It returns '7'. It looks to me that this is the number of 'x' entries  
- 'x' goes from 0 to 7, whereas 'y' could be anything.

How do I get it to return the number of 'y' entries?

Again, thanks in advance.

Regards,
Martin

PS I have the book Programming Perl, and I've looked it up in  
PerlDoc, but I still don't get it.
