Re: length of an array in a struct in an array of structs in a struct in an array of structs

that's great news :-).

one suggestion:

using C-type loops in Perl is inefficient.
The fastest For Loop would loop by value, i.e.:
for my $value (@array) {
...do something with $value...
}

or you could use the default variable $_:

for (@array) {
$_ is the element...
}


when you need an iterator, this is much faster than a C-style for loop:
for my $i (0..$#array) {
blah $array[$i];
}


hope this helps!
