For what it's worth: you might be able to use Math::FixedPrecision to handle "floating point" data with as much precision as you need.
Generally speaking you probably want something that handles Binary Coded Decimals to handle decimal data flawlessly. Most Intel archtechtures and lots of (other) languages support BCD. Hope this helps. In reply to Re: Still puzzled by floats
