NAME

Perl::Critic::Policy::ValuesAndExpressions::ProhibitLeadingZeros - Write oct(755) instead of 0755.

AFFILIATION

This Policy is part of the core Perl::Critic distribution.

DESCRIPTION

Perl interprets numbers with leading zeros as octal. If that's what you really want, its better to use oct and make it obvious.

  $var = 041;     #not ok, actually 33
  $var = oct(41); #ok

CONFIGURATION

This Policy is not configurable except for the standard options.
