Update: Okay, I realized I was misreading the sprintf documentation on padding during numeric conversions. How about this:
use constant OTHER_READ => sprintf("%.4o", 0001)

No, why that? If you put soemthing into your db it does not matter if the num is oct hex or dec. The same goes for other operators that you like to use +-|& for example.

  # all three lines do exactly the same.
  chmod  0644, $file;
  chmod   420, $file;
  chmod 0x1a4, $file;

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
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).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
