CentOS - Sep 2009 - Command line tool to display number of pages in a PostScript document?

Hi,

I'm looking for a way to get the number of pages contained in a 
PostScript document, so I can use it in a script.

Any suggestions?

One quick and dirty method will be to count the word "showpage' that
is not commented out.  But this may not give you an accurate number of
pages (some aliases might be used).
