Ok so i was bored and I just started playing around with loops in perl so I did this first

#!C:/PERL/BIN/perl.exe -w

for($i = 0; $i < 50; $i++){
         print ":: $i\n";
}

so then i tried this

(Toggle Plain Text)

#!C:/PERL/BIN/perl.exe -w

for($i = 0; $i < 50; $i++){
         print ":: $i\n";
}
if($i == 50){
     print ":: Begining the second loop...\n\n";
     sleep(3);
     for($me = 0x00; $me < 0xff; $me++){
     print "~ $me\n";
   }
}

and then I get ... you have to run it because its too long.
can anyone tell me why I got numbers instead of 0xff or something like that.

0xFF IS a number, with base 16 instead of base 10. You don't tell Perl to print it using base 16 instead of base 10.
