Changed
my $nextidx = $asize / 2; my $nextinc = $nextidx / 2;
[download]
to:
my $nextidx = int($asize / 2); my $nextinc = int($nextidx / 2);
[download]
(Otherwise, for an array of 5 elements, it’d return an index = 2.5 ;-...)).

Actually, that change is unnecessary. Whenever a floating point value is used as an array index, Perl automatically uses just the integer part of the value, since that would be the only sensible thing to do.
