in reply to Weird problem with Oracle, DBI, and Scientific Notation

My suspicition is that DBI (or perhaps DBD) is seeing that you're getting a number back, and filling in the numeric part of the scalar structure but not the string part. sprintf is your friend.

Update: Relized the problem with that: lost resolution. You're going to have to dig a bit, but I think I'm on the right track.

(I should probably admit at this point that I have no DB experince.)
