# ch-2.pl Perl Weekly Challenge 280 Task 2 Count Asterisks
#=============================================================================
# You are given a string, $str, where every two consecutive vertical bars
# are grouped into a pair.
# Write a script to return the number of asterisks, *, excluding any
# between each pair of vertical bars.
# Example 1 Input: $str = "p|*e*rl|w**e|*ekly|"
#           Ouput: 2
#   The characters we are looking here are "p" and "w**e".
# Example 2 Input: $str = "perl"
#           Ouput: 0
# Example 3 Input: $str = "th|ewe|e**|k|l***ych|alleng|e"
#           Ouput: 5
#   The characters we are looking here are "th", "e**", "l***ych" and "e".
