Steve,
Thanks! Was there a problem applying the patch? I just checked out a new cvs
images and the file t/op/lexicals.t has not been updated. As a result, a few
tests are failing. Should I resubmit the part of the patch that updates
t/op/lexicals.t?

Let's summarize some of the string-to-num issues:
(1) -- A number is just a number, regardless of how it's put in.
Therefore:
my int $i = 0xff;
my int $i = 255;
result in the identical number, 255, being placed in $i. Once it's in
there, there's no way to tell what format it originally

Here's the very rough draft of the String <=> Num document I said I'd
do.
Some of the behavior in here was just what made sense to me, since I
had no definitive answer. If anyone has ideas for more useful
or sensible behavior, please say so.
Oh, and I'm not sure what POD-like conventions we're u
