in reply to modulo 1 (%1) and fractional part of a number

JBCookin:

Rather than making a special oddball case for %, I'd suggest a better solution would be to just add fmod() (a standard C function) to the list of numeric functions we already have.

Update: I just happened to search CPAN, and found that POSIX::2008 provides the fmod function, there may be others as well.

    yes, the POSIX module that's part of perl's core also provides the fmod function.
