Aha. But say I cut it down to this: set N1, 0.0 sub N2, 0.0,0.0 new P0, .PerlString set P0, "1.3e5" set N0, P0 print "P0 is \"" print P0 print "\", N0 is " print N0 print "\n" end which gives: $ ./parrot stringbug6.pbc P0 is "1.3e5", N0 is 130000.000000 $ ./parrot -j stringbug6.pbc P0 is "1.3e5", N0 is 0.000000 what would your response be? :-) [if I remove either the set N1, or the sub N2, the answer is correct in the JIT] Nicholas Clark
