How do I parse a negative number from a string in perl? I have this piece of code:
print 3 - int("-2");
It gives me 5, but I need to have 3. How do I do it?

Perl will automatically convert between strings and numbers as needed; no need for an int() operation unless you actually want to convert a floating point number (whether stored as a number or in a string) to an integer. So you can just do:
and get 5 (because 3 minus negative 2 is 5).
