Hmm... Then I think the [doc://sprintf] documentation is incorrect, or possibly just confusing: (emphasis mine)
<blockquote>
Perl does its own "sprintf" formatting--<b>it emulates the C function "sprintf", but it doesn't use it (except for floating-
point numbers</b>, and even then only the standard modifiers are
allowed). As a result, any non-standard extensions in your
local "sprintf" are not available from Perl.
