Hi,

perltodo lists that we should support octal literals using 0odddddddd as we support 0xdddddddd for hex. Is there any place besides Perl_scan_num in toke.c, a doc change in pod/perldata.pod and a test in t/base/num.t that needs to be changed?

I looked at looks_like_number and grok_number but they only seem to look at decimal numbers.

Cheers,
Claes
