Re: What causes NaN when using bignum

[BrowserUk]

Your code produces 8.5 on my 64-bit/5.10 install.

This is curious. On my 64bit with Perl 5.12.1 it produces NaN?!?

[BrowserUk]

What output do you get from this on your system?

#! perl -slw

use bignum;

$number = 330978816.3082480433473810957254665863937;
$number =( int( ( ( log( $number ) / log( 10 ) ) * 10 ) + 0.5 ) ) / 10
+;
print"$number\n";

print "$k -> $v" while ( $k, $v ) = each %INC;
__END__
c:\test>junk
8.5
