Re: Strange Logic in Power of arithmetic

What version of Perl are you using? On v5.14.4 and v5.20.2 I get this:

23:07 >perl 1512_SoPW.pl
Power of calculation test
line 1: -8
line 2: -1.#IND
line 3: -1.#IND
line 4: -1.#IND

23:07 >
[download]

On v5.22.0 and v5.22.1 I get:

23:06 >perl 1512_SoPW.pl
Power of calculation test
line 1: -8
line 2: NaN
line 3: NaN
line 4: NaN

23:06 >
[download]

— as you expected.

Update: I’m using Strawberry Perl on Windows 8.1, 64-bit.
