Hello,
I'm not sure I perfectly understood what you wanted to do.
Do you want to append '12345' to the $f variable,
with at least 5 spaces at the beginning?
If so, here's a snippet that should do what you want:
sub pad {
my ($spaces, $string) = @_;
return( " " x (5 - length $spaces) . $string );
}
my $add = "12345";
my $f = " " x 4;
# for leading spaces smaller than 5
print "[" . pad( $f, '12345') . "]";

my $ OeufMayo = new PerlMonger::Paris({http => ' paris.mongueurs.net'});</kbd>

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
