Corrected Perl5 example of Formatted output and significant digits
The following note says "Your results may vary...", so maybe some perls
did give the value in the example as it was, but perl v5.10.0 on Intel
Pentium based system gives the more accurate revised output.
I am also dubious about the values given for perl4 as the error is quite
large, but I don't have perl4 easily available to test.
