categorized question QandAEditors The following code produces some bizzare output. Apparently, "a"++ = "b", and "z"++ = "aa". But if I ever try to convert $string to a number "$number = (int $string)" I get 0. Anybody know why? --snip!-- <code> #!/usr/bin/perl my $string = "a"; for( $i = 0; $i < 64; $i++ ) { $string++; print "string = '$string'\n"; } </code> --snip!-- 1826
