yeah after looking a bit deeper into it i figured as much. Hmm maybe since pack converts into double-precision representation as it is provided by your system it would be possible to fool perl into believing double precision would take 80 bytes instead of 64?
I'm reading through the POD of the Config Module as i write this and found the variables d_dbl_digit and d_ldbl_digit to be interesting. but it seems the Config module only supplies readonly access to those variables :/

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.
