As sgifford illustrated, you can use the int and sprintf functions to round to whole numbers. There is also the Math-Round module for rounding integers. The POSIX module has the ceil and floor functions, which you might want to tuck away for later.

BTW, sprintf can be used directly to round a number to a given number of decimal places. See perlfaq4, "Does Perl have a round() function?", for details.

HTH

Update: I see many other creative examples were posted in addition to sgifford's while I was distracted looking at Math-Round. If you want to roll your own, take your pick! :) The module looks interesting, though, specifically the nearest function.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
