Hi,
I've just discovered that the version of Perl 5.004.04 I compiled a
month or two ago, has serious problems with printf %f or %g (all other
kinds are fine). Although it's perfectly happy adding floats together
and casting them to ints, as soon as you say, e.g.
printf("%f", 23.23) it hangs, solid.
The perl5.001m binary off the ftp site works fine, however.
So: is there a patch I need to make to Perl to get it running happily,
or a configuration option I missed?
(I'm running 2.0.33 on a StrongARM, nothing obviously dodgy I don't
think - I've got Apache 1.3, qvwm and a few other dribs and drabs
running happily)
Sam
