The latter has the zero padding in the wrong place. It should always
go
after the "0x", where it would be legal in a literal on input. The
same
fault happens not just for negative values, but in any situation where
a sign character is being emitted:$ perl -lwe 'printf $_, 1.5 for "%+020a\n", "% 020a\n"'
