in reply to Negative zero? There's gotta be a sprintf that undoes that, right?

There is, of course, the putrid and horrible, yet sublimely simple additive solution...
print "print an example of negative zero\n"; @range = (-0.0000001, -0.000001, -0.00001, -0.0001); foreach $example (@range) { $tret = sprintf("rounded float:%7.5f, other:%7.5e",$example+.00000 +4,$example); print "The Number $example is represented as $tret\n"; }
Update: .000004 not .0000009 actually seems to work
