Can someone explain to me why -l use POSIX;print strtol pop,36
doesn't work? Where does the extra 0 come from? ------------ The shortest one which doesn't use strtol is this one: 2002/02/05 05:58:17 - 36 - Daniel Pfeiffer $_=pop;$d=`echo \$((36#$_))`;print$d which can be rewritten as this one, three shorter than the winners: - 30 - $_=pop;print`echo \$((36#$_))` But what's going on here? And is it legal? -- Stephen Turner, Cambridge, UK http://homepage.ntlworld.com/adelie/stephen/ "This is Henman's 8th Wimbledon, and he's only lost 7 matches." BBC, 2/Jul/01
