Using Perl to drive moderately high power electronics (400W) does give "smoke testing" a whole other meaning - perhaps closer the the original meaning?

Optimising for fewest key strokes only makes sense transmitting to Pluto or beyond

It's probably overkill, but I'll give it a plug, anyway: `C:\>perl -MMath::MPFR -le "print Math::MPFR->new('2.5', 8);" 2.625` [download] Math::GMPf is another perl module that can convert octal floating point values to decimal. Are there any other modules doing that ? (I would expect so, but I haven't checked.) I couldn't spot any built-in perl functions that will readily do this. Cheers, Rob	[reply] [d/l]
