Can someone explain this behavior?
% perl -e 'print -12.17**0.2, "\n"' -1.64838295714428 % perl -e 'print (-12.17)**(0.2), "\n"' -12.17% perl -e 'print ((-12.17)**(0.2)), "\n"' nan% Yes, the "\n" isn't getting printed for some reason on the 2nd two examples. Bottom line: -12.17**0.2 ==> -1.65 (-12.17)**(0.2) ==> -12.17 ((-12.17)**(0.2)) ==> nan I have absolutely zero idea what could be going on here...
