-0digits
specifies the record separator ($/) as an octal number.
If there are no digits, the null character is the
separator. Other switches may precede or follow the
digits. For example, if you have a version of find
which can print filenames terminated by the null char-
acter, you can say this:

find . -name '*.bak' -print0 | perl -n0e unlink

The special value 00 will cause Perl to slurp files in
paragraph mode. The value 0777 will cause Perl to
slurp files whole since there is no legal character
with that value.
