in reply to making perl more forgiving

This is one of the strangest questions i've ever seen.

Asking this question about strings, quotes, and printing in perl, is roughly equivilent to asking this perl math question...

Is there a way for me to make the perl interpreter more forgiving and ignore certain mathematical syntax errors? for example: if i type 55 +- 3, it should know that I button mashed the +/- keys and it should still run correctly and return 58. I don't even care if it can give me exactly what I want. for example returning 63 would be fine. thanks in advance!

    LMAO, lovely example :) Let's see now...

    print 55 +- 3; __END__ 52
