No, this is not caused by numerical equivalence to zero. Nor is it caused by Infinity/inf differences:
@a = (5 .. 10);
print
$a['inf'], "\n",
$a[-inf], "\n",
-inf==0 ? "-inf is zero\n" : "-inf isn't zero\n",
'inf'==0 ? "inf is zero\n" : "inf isn't zero\n";
# still outputs 10 and 5 and states that the infinities aren't zeroes
perl --version says "This is perl, v5.8.8 built for x86_64-linux-thread-multi"
Update: The weird thing is that indexing by -inf gives the first element and indexing by inf gives the last one. That's not what I'd expect.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
