perl win32 & output of printf

[vp]

Hi all,
In Perl win32 (ActivePerl v5.8.3), when I use

printf "%8d %15.6E\n", $x, $y;

I got always:

100207 -8.000000E+002

With the same script, under Linux & HP-UX, I got:

100207 -8.000000E+02

How I could tell Perl win32 that I need only two numbers for exposant (E+02 instead of E+002) ?

Thank you,
Regards,

You can't. According to 'perldoc -f sprintf' this behaviour is system
dependent.
