There are no integer literals in Perl.  All numbers and arithmetics
are/are done with doubles.  If you want to force integers you need to
declare that intention with the 'use integer' pragma.  perl might try
to use integers when it can get away with it and newer version are
more aggressively doing so, but there are no guarantees.
