in reply to Replacing matches within string without splitting.

Another approach:

#! perl use Modern::Perl; while (<DATA>) { chomp; s{\b(\d)\b}{0$1}g; say; } __DATA__ 1,2,3,4 8,9,10,11 7,8,9,10 12,13,14,15

Output:

16:42 >perl 462_SoPW.pl 01,02,03,04 08,09,10,11 07,08,09,10 12,13,14,15 16:42 >

Hope that helps,

    That worked beautifully (in Perl 5.8 without Modern::Perl)! Thank you :)
    $channels =~ s{\b(\d)\b}{0$1}g;
