Sam,

What exactly is the code and what exactly is the error (and what line of code causes that error)?

>I have run across something weird, and I'm wondering if there's an easy way around it. The answer to one of our problems is (-0.099977002)^(12/36). .Net/Sql server appears to bomb out whenever a negative base is raised to a fractional exponent, and it yields NAN(something somewhere said that it had to do with the internal representation of values that perl uses). Is there a way around this limitation?
