(which is the value of d variable)'
That's not 31.31 even if I *do* extend that to the correct number of bits.
See: http://babbage.cs.qc.edu/IEEE-754/Decimal.html
31.31 == 403F4F5C28F5C28F
And Perl agrees (although it is little endian on my Intel machine so you
have to flip the order).
Converting: 31.31
