Forgive me if this is a dumb question. I'm a newcomer to Perl.
I was trying to do something the other day and ran across this odd
little problem.
I had some lines in my script that looked something like this:
$ddd = 8;
...
if ($ddd == 08) {print ('hi');}
When I tried to run, I would get the following error:
Illegal octal digit at C:\atest\tryme.pl line 2, at end of line
Execution of C:\atest\tryme.pl aborted due to compilation errors.
I figured out how to get around the problem, but I'm curious about why
it occures, and why it only occurs with 08.
Thanx
