So I think I will make it imitate that behavior. > I've checked in a change that should take care of this: http://public.activestate.com/cgi-bin/perlbrowse/p/33591 It may not apply cleanly to 5.10.0 since there have been other nearby changes but at least we have a fix in the pipe. Unless you have a reason *not* to build with long double, I think building with both long int and long double would be the easiest workaround for you. Thanks again for the report. -- ________________________________________ Craig A. Berry mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] "... getting out of a sonnet is much more difficult than getting in." Brad Leithauser
