However - it is still strange that odd rounding and even rounding are different. I *strongly* suggest that you upgrade to a more recent Perl release soonest - if at all possible.
Doesn't printf/sprintf in your version od Perl (or C for that matter) use banker rounding by default? Could you please tell me what platform and version of Perl as well as libc are you using? How does sprintf round on your system?
I wasn't the orginal poster :)
Sorry, I only started to skim through this thread...
My system is Solaris 5.8.0 Ultrasparc and it rounds correctly with all tests I can think up
Including printing the expected results from your other post. Which I did like the C POSIX tests as well.
Very good, because that's the IEEE standard way of rounding numbers.
