That may just have been what Pugs did at the time I wrote it. :-) Looking at the Synopsis now, I'm not convinced it's right. I'm not sure what the Synopsis used to say, mind... For the first one, I'm pretty sure that should be a 0. That's provided that bools stringify to 0 and 1. For the third one, undef (thus nothing printed) makes sense to me, in that parsing a string with no numeric value in it is different to parsing one that contains "0". But I'm now struggling to find anything to say that this is really the case. If anyone here knows The Real Answer, I'll happily update the FAQ from that. Otherwise I'll defer to the language list and get an answer there. :-) Thanks for the feedback, Jonathan
