in thread use of hex-number in references

I just use "0 + $ref". Maybe that's a holdover from my many years of awk programming.

    Yes, it makes no difference. It looks like a reference is always unsigned in numeric context, since 0+ gives the same result as 0|, while 0x8nnnnnnn would be negative taken as a 32 bit signed integer.
