Request for more functionality in Math::BigFloat

2014-07-01 Thread Geoff Horsnell
Has anyone extended the Math::BigFloat package to include such niceties as the INT function, or remaindering? I need to be able to do some large calculations and those two functions would be very useful additions to the Math::BigFloat package Many thanks Geoff

Many thanks, Sisyphus. I didn't think to look at and use the Math::BigInt package in conjunction with Math::BigFloat. Cheers Geoff -Original Message- From: Sisyphus [mailto:sisyph...@optusnet.com.au] Sent: 02 July 2014 02:53 To: Geoff Horsnell; perl-win32-users@listserv.activestate.com

Further to my previous email, I can now access the File Version information. However, is there a general (or any) access method for the other info fields that Perlapp allows one to set? Can one retrieve the Comments field for example? Many thanks Geoff Horsnell

Using the --info data from Perl

Is there any way that I can access the fields set by the perlapp -info parameter? I am thinking of setting the product version via this method, and wonder if I can then access that field from within the Perl program I am compiling. Is it possible? Many thanks Geoff 21 Gloucester Road,

Strange Perl/Tk action

I have created a GUI using the Tk canvas widget that contains a menu list with two mutually exclusive menu items - say A and B. When A is selected, B should be disabled (greyed out) and vice versa. Therefore, when the currently active option is selected, the menu list needs to be repainted
