Observations, after building several copies of Perl and testing PDL against them: - Perl v5.8.8 and v.5.10.0 both show the test failure when Perl is built with "long doubles" enabled. - The test passes with either Perl version if I say no to "long doubles" when building Perl. So it looks like this is specific to using a Perl with long doubles. I should also mention that I'm using PDL-2.4.3. I've also tried 2.4.3_04 and found the same behavior. -- David Brodbeck System Administrator, Linguistics University of Washington _______________________________________________ Perldl mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.jach.hawaii.edu/mailman/listinfo/perldl
