Re^2: Length of float using printf

"A" works with characters since 5.10. (It still works with bytes, being a subset of characters.)

>perl588\bin\perl -MTest::More=no_plan -e"$s=join '', map chr, 0x2660.
+.0x2666; is(unpack('A4',$s), substr($s,0,4))"
not ok 1
[...]
1..1
# Looks like you failed 1 test of 1.

So, I have decided to implement the substr and change the way my application uses it. Thanks again for all the inputs.	[reply]
