From @jhi

5.22.0, or bleadperl as of f99896c-ish​:

$ ./perl -wle 'print 0x111.0000000000000p+0'
Hexadecimal float​: mantissa overflow at -e line 1.
273
$ ./perl -wle 'print 0x111.00000000000000p+0'
Hexadecimal float​: mantissa overflow at -e line 1.
17

The 273 got shifted left by the 13th (ta-dah!) zero.
