GHC is oddly particular about decimal points in "read"-ing in of Doubles in scientific notation. It seems that read "3.0e-06" is acceptable but read "3e-06" is not (both read "3" and read "3.0" work fine as Doubles). It's the same in nhc and hugs. Perhaps this is some standard somewhere that Perl doesn't understand?
