Dear Lord. I just thought the *language* felt like TRS-80 BASIC. I see it appears to have been written in it as well.

I don't think he's saying that was inside Perl, necessarily...
However, yes, classic error. "Test for overflow by... doing the operation, at specified precision, and see if the resulting value is greater than the overflow max for that precision."

"If the preceding operation already failed... no, wait. Er. Hey, we can use Floating Point..."
No.
