Actually ... not that you would be likely to get bitten by this, but just as a warning. Someone somewhere decided it'd be cool if \d matched "anything resembling a number in almost any of the writing systems ever used by humans" barely stopping short of matching the roman I, V, X, etc. On the other hand the automatic number conversion only understands 0, 1, 2, ... 9 so not all that matches \d+ may be converted to numbers. It was a bad idea, but I doubt it will ever be fixed.

If you want to be sure you only get what the rest of Perl considers numerals, use [0-9].
