I just want to add why you are printing the value of '1', other monks have already pointed out a fix to your problem.
Your code, print length(@attrvals); is equivalent to print length( scalar @attrvals );, which is equivalent to print length("2"), which prints "1", the length of string "2".
Run the demo code below -
my @array = 0..99; # 100 element array
print length(@array);
The output is 3, since the string "100" (elements) has 3 characters.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
