Re: Converting binary to double precision

Reading the unpack documentation, there is no option for "D"

D  A float of long-double precision in native format.
   (Long doubles are available only if your system supports
   long double values _and_ if Perl has been compiled to
   support those. Raises an exception otherwise.)

Is there a specific version/ install that I need? Invalid type 'D' in unpack at ... line 112, <FILE> chunk 1.	[reply]

I'm running on 5.12.2, and I see it. What version of perl do you use? UPDATE: I don't see it in 5.8.8. Also, I can't find any mention of a change to pack in either perl5100delta or perl5120delta.	[reply]
