Multiplication operator "*" - Multiplication of numbers

You can use the multiplication operator "*" to multiply numbers.

my $num3 = $num1 * $num2;

This is an example that multiplies 3 and 5.

my $num = 3 * 5;

In Perl, even a small number of multiplications can be done without being aware of the type.

my $num = 3.5 * 2.7;
