I am not sure which of the above you consider not true, so I'll show it with a variant of your own code. My "if available" is equivalent to the "PVIV with IOK" that Devel::Peek shows. $ perl -wle' use strict; use warnings; use Devel::Peek qw/Dump/; my $s = "1234"; Dump $s; 1 if $s == 0; Dump $s; 1 if $s eq "foo"; Dump $s; ' SV = PV(0x89b2ef8) at 0x89c8c30 REFCNT = 1 FLAGS = (PADBUSY,PADMY,POK,pPOK) PV = 0x89c2030 "1234"\0 CUR = 4 LEN = 5 SV = PVIV(0x89b3308) at 0x89c8c30 REFCNT = 1 FLAGS = (PADBUSY,PADMY,IOK,POK,pIOK,pPOK) IV = 1234 PV = 0x89c2030 "1234"\0 CUR = 4 LEN = 5 SV = PVIV(0x89b3308) at 0x89c8c30 REFCNT = 1 FLAGS = (PADBUSY,PADMY,IOK,POK,pIOK,pPOK) IV = 1234 PV = 0x89c2030 "1234"\0 CUR = 4 LEN = 5 The second dump shows that both IOK and POK are. In that case Data::Dumper (takes the choice and) prefers the numeric variant/face/value/representation. -- Affijn, Ruud "Gewoon is een tijger." -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://learn.perl.org/
