title: How can I repeat a string N times in Perl?
body: <p>In Python, if I do this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>print "4" * 4
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I get</p>
  
  <pre><code>&gt; "4444"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>In Perl, I'd get</p>
  
  <pre><code>&gt; 16
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Is there an easy way to do the former in Perl?</p>
