in thread converting binary to decimal

Except that you have posted this in the Cool Uses For Perl section which explains right at the top:

This section is the place to post useful code

Nowhere in your OP have you stated that this code isn't intended for productive use. Perhaps you meant to post it somewhere else?

    It is intended for my use. Lol But if you think it's good enough, then you can use it too. However, I have seen two other solutions here that are better. So, like I said before, even if you don't have something smart to say, if you post something bad, others will correct you. And it's a good way to learn. I've talked with ChatGPT trying to get it to give me an alternative unique sub that converts binary to decimal, but it kept referring me to the bigint module. But by posting this here, I already got some great ideas, which are even better than my solution was.

      That is anti-social behavior. Another way to put what you are doing is "posting deliberately provocative messages online": that is definitially trolling. (Unfortunately, your form of trolling, because it is just provocative rather than offensive, probably doesn't meet the standards for reaping trolls).

      Intentionally posting bad advice in response to other questions or intentionally posting bad code without asking for help to annoy people into correcting you is rude. And it's dangerous, because someone might actually follow your bad advice, without understanding the risks of what your code might do to to someone who uses it.

      Please stop this anti-social, bad-for-everyone behavior.
