| Subject: | Tests fail with -Duselongdouble |
If perl is compiled with -Duselongdouble, then a number of tests are failing, probably due to floating point inaccuracies. I observed this with perl 5.20.1 on a linux and freebsd system.
Failures look like this:
# Failed test 'TNV08 number_to_string(3.1415926535897932384626433832795028841971693993751058209749445923078164062862089986280348253421170679) returns correct value'
