Hi,

I have tried the following calculation with ActivePerl 5.10.0 build 1004 under Windows XP Pro:

print 0.79 - 0.798;

And it gave the following result:
-0.00800000000000001

which is obviously wrong.

It doesn't matter too much the reasons, but is there a better way for doing such math calculations in perl?

Thank you.
