UPDATE: Patches for t/run/locale.t and ext/POSIX/t/posix.t have been submitted to perlbug - see https://rt.perl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=133417
UPDATE 2: Those patches to t/run/locale.t and ext/POSIX/t/posix.t have now been applied to bleadperl.

Oh ... I failed to specifically thank you for providing those 2 patches.
I'll certainly be including them as I think that -Ud_strtod builds should be supported.
With current perl source there's no point in building with -Ud_strtod (or -Ud_strtold) but with the patches I'm proposing, those switches provide the simplest way to resort to using perl's Atof for assigning floating point values.
I don't expect that anyone in their right mind would want to opt for using perl's Atof, but I think the option should remain and the test suite should pass all tests.

Cheers,
Rob

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• 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).
• Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
