Since Perl programs are (typically) simple text files, not executable
images, a Perl program is much less sensitive to the architecture it’s

=item hexadecimal
A X<hexadecimals>number in base 16, “hex” for short. The digits for 10
-through 16 are customarily represented by the letters C<a> through C<f>.
+through 15 are customarily represented by the letters C<a> through C<f>.
Hexadecimal constants in Perl start with C<0x>. See also the C<hex>
function in Camel chapter 27, “Functions”.
