This seems to work, although there are some odd line returns and '0' is
being returned as '0.'
Still, I can work around that, THANKS!

Take a look at Math::BigFloat, it's an arbitrary length float math package:
#!/usr/bin/perl -wl
use Math::BigFloat;
$x = 37.75;
print $x - 33.67 - 4.08;
$x = Math::BigFloat->new('37.75');
print $x - 33.67 - 4.08;
