in reply to Re^4: Variables are automatically rounded off in perl
in thread Variables are automatically rounded off in perl
Someone else might be able to provide more definitive advice about that
As regards the operation $m % $n, the perlop documentation ( see perdoc perlop ) states:
<quote>
If the operands $m and $n are floating point values and the absolute value of $n (that is "abs($n)") is less than "(UV_MAX + 1)", only the integer portion of $m and $n will be used in the operation
(Note: here "UV_MAX" means the maximum of the unsigned integer type).

So perl's calculation of 3335.99999999995 % 3330 ( == 5) is being done as documented.
