in reply to Hex floating point format specifier?

Never mind: I found a non-Perl reference that gave the information I required: "The suffix ‘p-4’, which represents the power of two, written in decimal: 2-4."

Look as I might, I cannot find anything in the docs or articles linked below that says whether the exponent in the hex floats is also in hex?
