You just found the ultimate regular-expression ... dump that into perl and it outputs 42.
Watched code never compiles.

No, I meant that there you can swear to your hearts content like everybody else. But you might be right in the "not inducing relief" part, but it's worth a try anyway... :rolleyes:

Did you know that it's impossible in Perl to tell the difference between '1' and 1.0? The language knows that one is a string and one is a number, but (unlike PHP which has similar flexible typing) it won't tell you which something is! This is rather annoying when trying to interface with another language (Java, in this case) where that kind of matters.

One of these days I'm going to think of a really clever signature.
I was innocent, just the once.

Did you know that Perl is an abomination, invented to cause anger and distress to innocent developers?

Yes, I have a love-hate relationship with SQL (be it my, Oracle or MS). I also have mixed feelings for Win8 and WinPhone 7/.5 Besides that and in general, yes, I'm a half-fledged developer :) But usually, when I hate or love something, I do it fully, and no arguments can convince me :)

Judging by your signature, you are also fully-fledged security-unaware. More secure: Google, Java, Apple, YM. Less secure: skype, MS, PHP.

If you are interested, CPAN has modules you can add that help minimize this issue. Look for the scalar modules. Maybe not 100% but easy to use for most situations. Maybe this will reduce your frustration somewhat. Cheers.

Actually, either of them can be used as a string or a number in Perl. If a string converts then it can easily be used as a number. You simply can't make what looks like a number not act like a number. (Nor can you ever stip something from being treated as a string.) I would encourage you to really learn a language instead of learning its syntax.
