in thread Floating point (in)accuracy: more "interesting" than expected

Well, there are two possibilities i can think of...

  1. Note that the 5.8.2 perldelta indicates some tweaks were made again. I'm not sure what they were, but maybe they reduced some of the percieved randomness of ordering returned by "values" while keeping the security.
  2. It's possible that your deterministic versions of perl were compiled with "USE_HASH_SEED_EXPLICIT" set, or perhaps you have the "PERL_HASH_SEED" enironment variable set. see INSTALL for more info
