Moin,

This is very wierd:

# perl -MPOSIX -le '$a = (81 ** 3) ** (1/3); print join(" ", $a, int ($a), 
POSIX::floor($a), sprintf("%f",$a), sprintf ("%.0f",$a))'
81 80 80 81.000000 81

Why is $a sometimes 81, and sometimes 80? Why does int(81) produce 80?

This is with perl v5.8.1, not v5.8.0 as I claimed:
