How to get the number of Elements in a Matrix MultiDimisional array

I would like to thank everyone in advance for taking the time to look at my code below. I believe the term for the variable type I'm trying to manipulate is called matrix. It's rather new to me, and I'm appreciative of any input on the proper nomenclature.

I know that you can evaluate the number of elements in a normal "one to figure out how to get the number of elements from my "multi dimensional" array, and having problems in the process.

I believe the code below might shed light on where my confusion exists, as it produces errors which might be obvious to someone a little more experience.

Where I attempt to output the number of elements per day I get "ARRAY(0x903a2a0)" instead of a number. Where I try to itemize the list ("They are:") the output is blank.

Thanks in advance for any comments on this matter.

Code begin: --------------------------------------------------------- #!-usr-local-bin-perl

use warnings; use strict; use DBI; use CGI qw(:standard);

# The week is categorized into days and items per day

$week00 = "Process Agenda 1"; $week01 = "Process Agenda 2"; $week02 = "Process Agenda 3"; $week10 = "Process Agenda 1"; $week11 = "Process Agenda 2"; $week20 = "Process Agenda 1";

print "So far there are a total of $numdays days scheduled.-n";

# Out put a list of each agenda item per day.

my $daycount = 0; { my $itemsperday = $week$daycount; print "On day $daycount we have $itemsperday to do. They are:-n"; my $count = 0; { print "$week$daycount$count-n"; $count++; } $daycount++; } --------------------------------------------------------- Code end:
