kju has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Whats 215.88 minus 214.89? For perl the answer is not so obvious:

kju@teriyaki:~$ perl -e 'print 215.88-214.89'
0.990000000000009

Is that a bug?
kju@teriyaki:~$ perl -v
This is perl, v5.8.4 built for i386-linux-thread-multi
