How to Display Number of Rows Deleted/Inserted etc... in PL/SQL

Question

In Oracle 10g PL/SQL, I have a delete statement in a stored procedure. It is not in a cursor. I want to see the number of rows I've deleted. I can use the dbms_output.put_line package. I should know this, but I don't have time to perfect the syntax. How would I get the number of rows that get deleted and display it via dbms_output.put_lline?

No time to google either I guess.
