Can someone tell me why I need double quotes for this to work at the line with: 
print $first, $second, $third\n;

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

$first = 0xFF;
$second = 0377;
$third = 0b11111111;
print $first, $second, $third\n;
$answer = $first + $second + $third;
print "$answer\n";

It only gives this output when I write double quotes "print $first, $second, 
$third\n";
