$number =~ tr'.''d; # Use transliteration to delete the dot. There are of course other ways to do this, perhaps neater. Changing tr to y makes it even shorter. Note that the value returned by this function isn't usually very useful - it's the number of transliterations made, not the new string. If you need to keep the dot, use: ($new_number = $old_number) =~ tr'.''d; Which means: Set $new_number to $old_number, but transform via tr'.''d before doing the assignment.
