Re^5: (almost) foldl

print eval join' + ','1e',6;

Bareword found where operator expected at (eval 1) line 1, near "1e" (Missing operator before e?)

Did this actually test it, or is it because I'm running Perl 5?

Anyway, print eval join'+0+','1e',6; works okay. Plus, the "+0+" looks nice.

The point is that '1e' is not a valid number in Perl, so your answer of 7 is at best flawed. `C:\test>perl -Mstrict -wE"say 0+'1e'" Argument "1e" isn't numeric in addition (+) at -e line 1. 1` [download] Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.
