Hi, I found the conversion flow in perldoc perlnumber. Based on what I read there my assumption is that the warning is issued before the conversion between decimal string to integer.

Yes it can. With a numeric-prefixed string, Perl (like atof) takes the numeric prefix as its value. Hence ("5&6" + 7) == 12. > As such, since the + operator is expecting > a number on both sides, we get the warning. But it gets numbers on both sides: 5 and 7.
