Hi , You do not need a atoi function in Perl. All the strings can be used as a number based on the context.
for example $str1 = '50'; $str2 = '2'; $sum = $num1 + $num2; # sum is now 52 $str_cat = $num1.$num2; #str_cat is 502 HTH, Chetak -----Original Message----- From: A Madhusudan-A5324C [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, 18.
