G'day mandalmanas5519,

Welcome to the monastery.

The documentation for sprintf has dozens of examples of how to compose the format and what the output looks like. So, for future reference, looking it up there would be a lot quicker than posting a question here and waiting for a reply.

Here's how to compose the format for the specific instance you have here.

  1. % — start format (yes, you know this already)
  2. %0 — padding with zeros
  3. %08 — 8 characters
  4. %08X — uppercase hex digits (you don't need uc) 
$ perl -Mstrict -Mwarnings -E '
    my $dec = 1211;
    say sprintf("%08x", $dec);
    say sprintf("%08X", $dec);
'
000004bb
000004BB

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post, it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":


  • Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!
  • Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
  • Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.
  • Please read these before you post! —
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags:
    a, abbr, b, big, blockquote, br, caption, center, col, colgroup, dd, del, details, div, dl, dt, em, font, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, hr, i, ins, li, ol, p, pre, readmore, small, span, spoiler, strike, strong, sub, summary, sup, table, tbody, td, tfoot, th, thead, tr, tt, u, ul, wbr
  • You may need to use entities for some characters, as follows. (Exception: Within code tags, you can put the characters literally.)
            For:     Use:
