unpack "H*" hasn't changed, so what you're saying makes no sense.
Well - you apparently knew that, but I didn't.
I was fairly certain it would be the case and that it should be the case, but I wanted to verify it with an actual example, and your approach does not provide that verification.
(Admittedly, it is pretty hard to see how anything else *could* be the case ;-)
I was also wanting to do the same thing, but replacing "H*" with "D" - in order to verify that rounding would be performed as expected. (It is ... so long as one's expectation is correct.)
Wrt perl-5.34.0, unlike unpack("H*", $string) we see that the value returned by unpack("D", $string) will often vary between 'double' and 'long double' builds, for the very same $string.
I don't doubt that you regard running those checks as also being something that "makes no sense".
But having a "D" template on a perl whose nvtype is 'double' is a little disconcerting to me, and I just want to make sure that its behaviour is clear in my mind.

That totally misses the point
Yes, it totally misses *your* point, just as you are intent on totally missing mine.
