This is a bug report for perl from jan-perl@h-i-s.nl,
generated with the help of perlbug 1.35 running under perl v5.8.8.


-----------------------------------------------------------------
[Please enter your report here]

The minus operator creates strange results for the given example.
Using bignum or bigint does not change the results.
For the given program, running perl v5.6.1 on an old pentium-90 gave the
expected output in the last two colums: the samen value as in the first
column, and zero respectively.
The example program reads a multiplier from the first line, and then
verifies the relation $val[4] == $val[0] * mult + $val[1]

example program:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

$mul=<STDIN>;
$mul+=0;
$hdrlin=<STDIN>;
    print "${mul}\n${hdrlin}";
while ($readlin = <STDIN> ) {
    @vals =split(/\t/,$readlin);
    my $diff= ($vals[4] - $vals[1] ) - $vals[0]*$mul;
    my $v1m=sprintf ("%.0f",$vals[0]*$mul);
    my $v1c=sprintf ("%.0f",($vals[0]*$mul+$vals[1]));
    my $d1=sprintf ("%.0f", ($vals[4] - $vals[1] ) );
    print "$vals[0]\t$vals[1]\t$v1m\t$v1c\t$vals[4]\t$d1\t$diff\n";
}
