Re: How to determine MIN and MAX values for floating point number

~~Umm, it looks like you've got the answer right there: Config.~~ Update: Never mind.

I wanted to explore how Perl's closures can be manipulated, and ended up creating an object system by accident.

Umm, it looks like you've got the answer right there: Config. Umm, no. Config doesn't provide vars for max/min values. It does provide some XXXsize variables that'll tell you the size in bytes of various types though. -sauoq "My two cents aren't worth a dime.";	[reply]

It isn't in there as far as I can see. doublesize = 8 doesn't tell me the min/max values of doubles, and certainly not of floats. Joost. "What should it profit a man, if he should win a flame war, yet lose his cool?"	[reply]
