I have an 11 digit number. I want to add another number to it and format to 11
digits as well.
my $amount1 = 14313562897;
my $amount2 = 00000013625;
$amount = sprintf("%011d", $amount1 + $amount2);
print $amount."\n";
The answer perl gives me is -0000000001
How can this be ?
As well, if the large number starts with 0, I get an "Illegal octal digit '8'
at test.pl line 2, at end of line". As though perl cant handle numbers bigger
than 10 digits or so.
