Hello,
my problem is very simple, but I cannot find the answer in "Learning
Perl" nor in the manpages:
Which FORMAT in printf makes the numbers 1,2,3,.. look like 001,002,003..?

The magic word is "padding".

The FORMAT options for printf() are described in
perldoc -f sprintf
(as mentioned in "perldoc -f printf")

Thanks to all who gave me this hint. I simply overlooked the link from
printf to sprintf. I promise to read the manpages more careful in the
future before asking the experts!
Kind regards,
Hubert
