in thread decimal placement
This may be seriously unfair, but the two aspects of
Perl's behaviour
(to my eyes bugs) that I dislike most I learned tracking
down bugs in Number::Format.
The first was the infamous "my $foo if 0;", the other is the fact that $_ is the same in all namespaces, so call a function in a map and it can wipe out your input array - even if the module is in another namespace.
Not bad for a module that I don't even use! (Co-workers discovered it and used it. Personally I would have been perfectly happy with what sprintf offers...)
