I'm not sure if I understand the question, but: `[0] Perl> print fmod( $_, 100 ) for 12300, 12301, 12399, .00001;; 0 1 99 1e-005` [download] Or do you mean this: `[0] Perl> print fmod( $_, 1 ) for map{ ($_, -$_ ) } 12300, 12301, 1239 +9, .00001;; 0 0 0 0 0 0 1e-005 -1e-005` [download] Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.

Or do you mean this:

[0] Perl> print fmod( $_, 1 ) for map{ ($_, -$_ ) } 12300, 12301, 1239
+9, .00001;;

Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.

"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority".
