The precision is the same. But when you print 'time-t', you actually
print

time-(time-(d*60*60*24))

you actually print d*60*60*24 , which is integer, although stored in a
floating-point variable.

What you see in 'Time::now-t' is slightly larger, and this amount is
seen in the decimals (my differences are much smaller than yours...).
