I just ran into this today, and have no clue what's going on:
% perl -e 'print 10-5.5, "\n"' 4.5 % perl -e 'print 10-05.5, "\n"' 55 How does 10 minus 5.5 equal 55? Obviously it's the leading zero, but I can't think of any reason why it should do that... - B -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
