fix: use correct operator for exponentiation

[churib]

This pull requests fixes the computation of prefixes like kibi, mebi, kibi, ... Perl uses the \ operator for exponentiation, the operator ^ is used for bitwise xor.

Thanks! I suppose I should do a new release, huh? It's been a long time since I've messed around with cpan.

I can do it (or help) as you prefer.

If it's very easy for you, that would be great! It would take me a while to remember how to do it, and I'm a bit swamped at the moment.

I'm preparing the release now. I realize how much I've grown as a Perl developer since the last time I looked at this :-P. I've revamped the Changes file and now I'm evaluating if the build process can be simplified.

Aaaaaaand ... released!

[Klortho]

Wow, thanks!

I've regressed. In Perl, that is. I'm mostly working in JS now. I love how low-friction npm is. Of course -- I imagine cpan and perl tools have lowered the barriers, too. I've been musing lately that maybe soon there will be no difference between "developing" and "publishing/releasing". And packages will get smaller and smaller, until we get to the point that system are built up from a collection of versioned functions.

Many thanks you both!
