I have a requirement for passing a hex value like this to a function.
Example code:
my $ipmbAddress = getIpmbAddress(...); ## returns 82
getDeviceID($ip, $ipmbAddress);
Here in the above code, the getDeviceID() fucntion will accept only
0x82 (hex number). How to convert the number 82 to 0x82 (Note that
this should not be as string)
I think it must be a string, or else Perl will convert it to decimal
whether you like it or not...
my $num = 0x82;
print "$num\n"; # prints 130
So if the function expects a hex value, you'd better pass it as a string.
