Hmm... That's amazing. But i tried to break it down into more easily understandable parts for me, and I think I broke it! Can you please show me why it no longer works? EDIT: I think I know what I did wrong. I accidentally doubled the "|" character. I can't even type. X_X 


sub binary2decimal
{
  defined $_[0] or return 0;
  my $B = $_[0];

  $B =~ tr|01||cd;                          # Remove illegal chars
  $B =~ s/^0+//;                            # Remove preceding zeros
  my @BITS = split(//, $B);

  my $n = 0;
  my $copy1;
  my $copy2;
  my $copy3;

  foreach (@BITS)
  {
    $copy1 = $n;
    $copy2 = $n;
    $copy1 =~ tr/1-9/246802468/;
    $copy2 =~ tr/1-9/00001/;
    $n = (0 . $copy1 || $copy2 . $_);   # This should be | not ||
    $n =~ s/^0+(?=.)//;
  }
  return $n;
}
