Normally.  :-)

With a normal array, it's

  @ary   =>   $#ary

with an array reference, it's

   @$aryref  =>  $#{ $aryref }  or  $#$aryref

with SimpleList's tied list, it's just the same, but the syntax is  
pretty ugly because of what you have to do to dereference the array:

    @{ $slist->{data} }  =>   $#{ $list->{data} }


Other ways include:

    scalar (@{ $slist->{data} }) - 1

and

    $slist->get_model->iter_n_children (undef) - 1
