My locale is set wide system to spanish. Just for confirm, i added this lines to
cornell.pov:

#version 3.7;
#debug concat("version in cornell.pov is ",str(version,0,2),"\n")
#declare Foo = 3.14;
#declare Bar = 314/100;
#debug concat("Foo is ", str(Foo,0,2), "\n")
#debug concat("Bar is ", str(Bar,0,2), "\n")


and the output result is:


  Render Stream to console........On 
  Statistics Stream to console....On 
  Warning Stream to console.......On 
version in cornell.pov is 3,00
Foo is 3,00
Bar is 3,14
Parse Warning: In POV-Ray v3.5 and later a radiosity{}-block will automatically turn
on radiosity if the output quality is set to 9 or higher. Read the documentation to
find out more about radiosity changes!

It's clear. My decimal separator is a spanish "," (comma) rather the english "."
(point)
