Subject: Fails on perls with nvsize != 8
As per subject. Insufficient rounding in one of the tests seems to be the key to understand the issue. Floating point numbers should never be compared on string equality. Sample fail report: http://www.cpantesters.org/cpan/report/22550102 HTH && Regards,

Indeed. But I don't have fine-grained control of comparaison method using test_deeply, and I don't know how to test this kind of data structure exhaustively without writing a dedicated element-by-element comparaison :/
