For the record, although developed independently my version at Re: Split range 0 to M into N non-overlapping (roughly equal) ranges. has the same sort of bug, triggered by at least one of the same input pairs. I guess when two people hit the same flaw, we at least know we're close to the right solution.
Since the fix is already discussed for JavaFan's map version, I'm sure the translation of that fix to the for loop can be left as an exercise. Personally, my fix would probably be to pull in bignum, which works well since it's a rounding error.
Broken:

It's maybe slower than fudging, but I have more faith in it. It's easy enough to add a line at the top of the program to let someone else deal with the intricacies since this isn't going to be the resource-hungry part of your code anyway.

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).
