Perl has this too. The string "0 but true" is truthy, but is 0 as a numeric value. (Any string starting with 0 that doesn't evaluate to a different number also works - but "0 but true" is specifically exempt from causing warnings). DBI uses "0E0" instead, which I guess more reliably evaluates to 0 outside Perl, and still doesn't cause warnings. |
