That crossed my mind, but perl can be too clever about tweaking arguments. Some additional debugging stuff: `DB<169> $av0="07090" DB<170> say sprintf("%u", $av0) 7090 DB<171> say "too big?" if ($av0 ne sprintf("%u", $av0)) too big?` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

If you are expecting "non-negative integers" the leading zero is superfluous anyway. And depending on processing could be interpreted as an octal number.	[reply]
