Yeah, they are rounding errors. Rearranging the calculation fixes it (at least, on my platform):
sub ranges_javafan {
my ($M, $N) = @_;
return [ map {[int($_/$N*($M+1))
, int((($_+1)/$N)*($M+1))-1]
} 0..$N - 1];
}
The most important is the final ($_+1)/$N*($M+1) - that should return $M+1 for $_ == $N-1. The impact of other rounding errors is that a range is 1 shorter than expected (but making the next one one larger - it shouldn't skip numbers).

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).
