Re^4: Negative zero from a multiplication by a zero?

I don't know what to say about this. It is weird to be sure! I have a 32 bit MS box.

C:\TEMP>perl -v

This is perl, v5.10.0 built for MSWin32-x86-multi-thread
(with 5 registered patches, see perl -V for more detail)

Update: did a uname -a

C:\TEMP>uname -a
CYGWIN_NT-5.1 cobra 1.5.25(0.156/4/2) 2008-06-12 19:34 i686 Cygwin

Again, not all machines and libraries support negative zeroes. Perl lets the underlying layers handle this, so the results won't be the same on all machines.	[reply]
