[MacPerl] A parseing we will go....

Hi all,

    I'm curious to see how others might solve a little coding problem I
worked on this week.
You have a number, floating point. Could be

001254.6987 or 0.2500 or 012.685000
There's any number of leading or trailing zeroes before and after the
decimal I want to get rid of.
If they are all zeroes I need 1.0 instead of 1.00000 and 0.1 instead of
00000.1. Otherwise I just need to lop off the leaders or trailers.
Any takers?
A direct cc would be appreciated.
