Why does the output of
perl -e "print hex '0x00001600000402'"
differs from the output of
perl -e "print hex 0x00001600000402"
EG:
bash-3.2$ perl -e "print hex '0x00001600000402'"
94489281538
$ perl -e "print hex 0x00001600000402"
10189963531576
$ perl -e "print hex '0x16'"
22
$ perl -e "print hex 0x16"
34
$ perl -e "print hex '22'"
34
When inside quotes, '0x16' is interpreted by hex to be a hex string and
convert to 22. When outside, perl interprets 0x16 as 22 which is passed
to hex to produce 34.
