I figured it out - it was due to a change in Perl 5.6 that caused numbers when converted to strings by Perl to have the current locale's decimal separator inserted. In other words, the number 123.45 in the German locale is "123,45" in string form. Prior versions of Perl would convert it to "123.45" no matter what locale. I was using split(/\./) to separate the integer from the decimal parts, and converted that to use int() to get the integer, and substr() to get the decimal. It works, and version 1.44 is now on my website and soon to be on CPAN. --Bill. -- William R Ward [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.wards.net/~bill/ ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the precipitate.
