I got bored..really bored, so i made this little thingy to look at. perl -e 'for ($i = 0; print $i, " seconds bored..\n"; $i++, sleep(1)){}' ok, that's fine. It give me 1 2 3 and so one seconds bored. Then i got even a bit more bored, so i move sleep(1) further in: perl -e 'for ($i = 0; print $i, " seconds bored..\n", sleep(1); $i++){}' and it gives me: 0 is the number.. 11 is the number.. 12 is the number.. 13 is the number.. etc.. 19 is the number.. 110 is the number.. 111 is the number.. 112 is the number. etc.. Why?? I can't seem to figure that out. Of course am not bored any more, but there's a limit even there :)
