Re^4: Determining the minimum representable increment/decrement possible? (Perl's scanf broken?)by BrowserUk (Patriarch) |

Sadly, no-one seems interested in fixing this - though I think that's because of the degree of difficulty rather than actual "disinterest". I'm somewhat confused by that. Why not use the underlying CRTs sscanf() or strtod()? one solution is to assign using POSIX::strtod That's very useful! Thankyou. I'd rather put my faith in the mpfr library. For the most part, I'm only really using Perl as an interactive calculator for exploring the issues; the actual code is C++; and I'm doing some optimisations in x64 assembler.
