in thread 02.5 == 25 - WTF?

LOL, B::Deparse is normally the best way to show such precedence problems, but constant folding is hiding it! :)

D:\>perl -MO=Deparse -E"say 02.5"
use feature 'current_sub', 'evalbytes', 'fc', 'postderef_qq', 'say', '
+state', 'switch', 'unicode_strings', 'unicode_eval';
say '25';
-e syntax OK

    With hindsight, the fact that 25 is a quoted string is a hint.

    Optimising for fewest key strokes only makes sense transmitting to Pluto or beyond
