Need Help??

Perl exhibits strange behaviour after moving from x32 to x64 platform:

Before:

# perl -e 'printf("%.2f", 6.685);'
6.68
[download]

# perl -v
This is perl, v5.10.1 (*) built for i386-linux-thread-multi
[download]

After:

# perl -e 'printf("%.2f", 6.685);'
6.69
[download]

# perl -v
This is perl, v5.10.1 (*) built for x86_64-linux-thread-multi
[download]

Any changes in rounding algorithm?

It looks like there is a problem with numeric.c: Perl_grok_number (Perl's own string-to-number conversion). Perl bugs tickets #115092, #41202	[reply]
