Sure! In Perl, you can convert an integer to a string using the sprintf function or by concatenating an empty string to the integer value.

Here is an example using sprintf:

my $num = 123;
my $string = sprintf("%d", $num);
print "The number $num is now the string $string\n";

This will output: The number 123 is now the string 123

And here is an example using string concatenation:

my $num = 456;
my $string = $num . "";
print "The number $num is now the string $string\n";

This will also output: The number 456 is now the string 456

Both methods will convert the integer to a string, but sprintf allows you to format your string in different ways. For example, %d represents a decimal integer and %f represents a floating-point number. You can read more about the sprintf function in Perl documentation.
