Like the other monks, I’m not clear on the question being asked here. However, if floating point numbers in hexadecimal notation are wanted, Data::Float may be what you’re looking for:
#! perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use Data::Float qw( float_hex hex_float );
my $n = 1 / 7;
my $h = float_hex($n);
my $d = hex_float($h);
print "fraction = $n\nhex = $h\ndecimal = $d\n";
Output:
14:46 >perl 538_SoPW.pl
fraction = 0.142857142857143
hex = +0x1.2492492492492p-3
decimal = 0.142857142857143

Hope that helps,

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
