Perl is compiled with "-Dusemorebits" (64int-ld) and is thus using "long doubles". That tends to trip up direct comparisions of floating point.
For floating point comparison, I usually recommend Test::Number::Delta. However, given that your module is about formatting stuff, maybe the best approach is forcing string comparison. >From a quick test -- using 'eq' instead of '==' in your modules passes tests on my system. -- David
