in reply to Print Statement

a) You have a "question", not a "doubt";
b) see perldoc perldata in the section "Scalar value constructors" where it covers that an underscore may be used in a numeric literal for readability (but perl will silently discard them after parsing your source).

    The OP's original language is not English. Doubt is a reasonable translation from several languages.

      Yes, and I'm trying to help them become more idiomatic speakers of English; but I'll be sure to remember that the next time I see someone taking doubts from reporters at a press conference.

      Update: And I'm not the only person around here it annoys either (c.f. "Question" vs "Doubt").
