Re^2: Negative zero? There's gotta be a sprintf that undoes that, right?

Now... here's a really sick method that uses the regexp, but only to remove the leading - when needed. -0 == 0 but also -0 lt 0 so...

$num=sprintf("%7.5f",$num);
$num=~s/^-// if $num == 0 && $num lt 0;

minimal regexp work and works for any precision.

Update Caveat... only works in locales where "-" is lower than 0-9
