One other odd thing I noticed using the sprintf method: If $var is odd, $var2 rounds low. If $var is even, then $var2 rounds high.
Being a programmer by necessity rather than by choice forces me to take the
easy way out and use the POSIX solution to get the program written.
Although, it would be interesting to know why the sprintf method behaves the
way it does...
That could be caused by a parity correcting CPU which was NOT accounted for during the build/compliation phase of Perl.
65 bits as opposed to 64 is meaningful.
I would still like to know what version of Perl you have as well.
