BTW, official Perl documentation on this is here. Another difference is that underscores are not handled when strings are converted to numbers: `$ perl -wMstrict -le 'print 0+ 1_234 ' 1234 $ perl -wMstrict -le 'print 0+"1_234"' Argument "1_234" isn't numeric in addition (+) at -e line 1. 1` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
