Re^2: Number too big to fit in integer

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?

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]
