From: "Hugh Myers"
The OP is trying to build Perl itself, not use it; hence the need for
long double support functions...
You don't need "long double support functions" to build perl ... unless you
want to build a perl whose NV is a long double (instead of a double).
Presumably the op wants to build a perl whose NV is a long double so that he
can make use of that extra precision. Given that he can't build such a perl,
the next best way of accessing that extra precision he wants is, imo, to use
Math::MPFR.
Cheers,
Rob
