# New Ticket Created by Zefram # Please include the string: [perl #128913] # in the subject line of all future correspondence about this issue. # https://rt.perl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=128913 > > "9.9981e0".EVAL < "9.998e0".EVAL True Observe that the literal with a greater nominal value yields a lower Num value. (The .EVAL circumlocution is required to work around [perl #128820].) This implies that at least one of the literals is getting incorrect rounding, which was the subject of [perl #128912]. (In fact the greater one is getting correct rounding and the lower one is not. The correct roundings of both are the same.) But this case goes beyond the rounding merely being incorrect; with this behaviour the rounding isn't even self-consistent. -zefram
