Greetings O monks,

I have turned perlcritic --stern towards several scripts I have and encountered a question. The manual page for File::Path contains the following excerpt:

@created = make_path('foo/bar/baz', '/zug/zwang', { verbose => 1, mode => 0711, });

Indeed, in my script(s) that syntax works fine, like this for example make_path($page,{mode=>0775})

However, when I point perlcritic at the script(s), I get warnings like the following about how leading zeros should be avoided:

Integer with leading zeros: "0775" at line 657, column 34. See page 58 of PBP. (Severity: 5)

What is the right way to resolve that warning or error? Putting it in quotes does not have the desired effects.

PS. Any tips on non-Amazon book sellers inside the EU which can sell a paper copy of PBP?
