Psst. Your replies are more relevant if you read more than just the title before replying. Can you explain how they are not relevant?	[reply]

... explain ... not relevant ... See tye's Re^2: Perl with precision (octal).	[reply]

Well, even though I didn't directly answer that part of the question, perlnumber covers that That and the modules/tutorial mentioned clearly cover the best way to handle numbers with precision in Perl ... with confidence? -- makes the reply relevant. So I have clearly read past the title, did you (he?)?	[reply]

It is not unreasonable to have assumed that the problem being posed actually did have to do with numeric precision as opposed to actually being (apparently) related to octal notation... If the issue had been something to do with high precision arithmetic, as the topic title certainly suggests, these links would have been very apropos. (And, to anyone who IS dealing with such a problem, they still are.)	[reply]
