I think you may have misunderstood the intent of the original
subroutine. Given an integer, it should produce a list of three
values: red, green, and blue. It does not produce anything like
"0000FF"; rather, given 0x0000FF (note the difference, BTW),
it should produce the list (0, 0, 255). Which it does.
Where you say that it is returning 00255; it actually is not. It's
returning a list containing (0, 0, 255), and when you print that
out, it's getting automatically joined on the empty string, and
so you see 00255.
But the actual usage is like:
my($red, $green, $blue) = hexa_triplet(0x0000FF);
And then the $red, $green, and $blue would be passed into
GD, since that's what the OP needed this for.

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).
