Re^2: Rounding off the scale value after decimal point

[venu_hs]

Thank you monks for your responses. I dont want to round off the number. So i started using bignum module to specify the precision as 17. So if a number is actually 500.123, as per the precision of 17, it becomes 500.12300000000000000 which is ideal and intended. But then i would need it as 500.123 Any other perl modules i can use to accomodate this scenario.

How odd, either you want the precision or you don't

You can squash trailing zeros with  $num =~ s/0+$//;
