If you get no
indication whatsoever that something misfired under the hood, that's
worth noting. What happens of you do this with your D_FLOAT compiled perl:
$ perl -e "$x = 1.36514538e67; print $x;" $ show symbol $status
Perl just exits to DCL. $STATUS is %X1000048C which translates to 'Arithmetic trap, floating overflow'. My /G_FLOAT build is running now on SIMH. I'll see how it works tomorrow but I suspect it will be the same.
With /G_FLOAT, the above works but if I change the exponent from 67 to 310 it behaves the same.
