Hi,

To avoid the concatination operator problem, use , in print and not ..
What you wrote, is exactly the same as:

print "hallo".55.0"test"; # <= error
[download]

When you write it as:

print "hallo" . 55 . "test";
[download]

The perlparser (B::Deparse) will rewrite it as

print 'hallo55test';
[download]

Conclusion;

print "hallo",55,"test";
[download]

I hope this helps.
