Author print 001 instead of 1

Hello all,
I have a variable named n. n is a number from 0 to 999. I want to print
it with always 3 digits (like 002 instead 2). How do I do it? If I use
printf ("%3d",$n), it uses spaces...

Best regards,
-vcf

Try printf("%3.3d,$n);

Sounds like you haven't looked at the first example shown by
perldoc -f sprintf
