Re^3: Numification of strings

in reply to Re^2: Numification of strings
in thread Numification of strings

well always? :)

       dualvar NUM, STRING
           Returns a scalar that has the value NUM in a numeric contex
+t and
           the value STRING in a string context.
 
               $foo = dualvar 10, "Hello";
               $num = $foo + 2;                    # 12
               $str = $foo . " world";             # Hello world

And what does this disagree with? I never said the integer and string values of a scalar variable have to be in any way related.

Well take it as clarification that there are no "string variables" but "scalar variables" with different slots.

Perl is so magic that, easy answers are not always true...
