Didn't I answer the question in post #4 in a way that others have replicated with more complex code?
I've written it as ksh, but the same works for bash
Not sure what all the worry is about.
For a faster process not reading line by line & looping, how about:-
Does that fit the bill? It works for me.
I'd like to learn what I missed earlier and see if this is a better fit.

Perl::Critic::Policy::ValuesAndExpressions::ProhibitLeadUsereContributed Perl DPerl::Critic::Policy::ValuesAndExpressions::ProhibitLeadingZeros(3)NAME
Perl::Critic::Policy::ValuesAndExpressions::ProhibitLeadingZeros - Write "oct(755)" instead of "0755".
AFFILIATION
This Policy is part of the core Perl::Critic distribution.
DESCRIPTION
Perl interprets numbers with leading zeros as octal. If that's what you really want, its better to use "oct" and make it obvious.
$var = 041; # not ok, actually 33
$var = oct(41); # ok
chmod 0644, $file; # ok by default
dbmopen %database, 'foo.db', 0600; # ok by default
mkdir $directory, 0755; # ok by default
sysopen $filehandle, $filename, O_RDWR, 0666; # ok by default
umask 0002; # ok by default
CONFIGURATION
If you want to ban all leading zeros, set "strict" to a true value in a .perlcriticrc file.
[ValuesAndExpressions::ProhibitLeadingZeros]
strict = 1
