Thank you for your explanation. How do I circumvent this problem? I have a little perl-program that pulls these numbers from a file and it has to round them correctly. Isn't there some way to store a number exactly?

What if you want to chop a number but not round it? printf just wants to round, no option to tell it not to :( I needed something that would chop the extra digits (price calculataions) without rounding. quick fox was to compare the sprintf result with the original and if it was larger remove 0.01 - yuk!... I ended up using split and substr... - not pretty either There must be a better way!	[reply]
