Nope. Notice the semicolon at the end? That terminates the statement.

This looks funny to me, but then I fiddle with Perl only occasionally.
However, the oct function evaluates an expression as an octal string,
returning a decimal value. So, why force hexidecimal using "0x" notation,
I don't know. I think this script is confused.

However:

makes sense, since letters beyond A-F are illegal as hexidecimal. If you
want to see what it's trying to operate upon, put the following above line
801:
  print "\nAbout to mung: $_\n\n";

OTOH, looking at my own /proc/bus/pci/devices, maybe it's trying to use
"Parport_pc" (which is not capitalized on my machine). I gotta run, or I'd
fiddle s'more.
