Ok, ok, I'm quibbling. Then add a couple of extra spaces :) `say eval join' + ','1e',6;` [download] Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.

`print eval join' + ','1e',6;` Bareword found where operator expected at (eval 1) line 1, near "1e" (Missing operator before e?) Did this actually test it, or is it because I'm running Perl 5? Anyway, `print eval join'+0+','1e',6;` works okay. Plus, the "+0+" looks nice.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

The point is that '1e' is not a valid number in Perl, so your answer of 7 is at best flawed. `C:\test>perl -Mstrict -wE"say 0+'1e'" Argument "1e" isn't numeric in addition (+) at -e line 1. 1` [download] Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.
