does perl provide a function similar to the 'C' sizeof that i can apply to a
HASH/Structure to determine it's size...

when dealing with sockets. i need a way of determining the size of the
information that i pass back to the client...

thanks...

You can use Data:Dumper for just a raw look at the entire structure.

You can foreach over the keys or values in a loop if you know what
you want and it's a simple hash.

	foreach (keys %hash) {
		print "$_ = $hash{$_}\n";
	}
