If all you have is '08' you don't need a regular expression to strip off the
0, and a regex would be a bit of overkill.  Simply treat the number as a
number and it will come out as '8'.

Without specifics on why you want to accomplish this I, naturally, can't
give you specific examples, but here are a few that illustrate my point.

    $num = '08';

    print $num + 0;
    printf "%d", $num;

    $newnum = 8 * ($num + 4);
