I have two scripts:

#!/usr/bin/perl
use Data::Dumper;
use HTML::Entities;
use Time::HiRes;
$|=1;
print sprintf("%0.02f",0.345);
[download]

(The modules are loaded because of the other script uses them.) The other script is 900+ lines, so I will just take the excerpt out.


$tprice = ($l[8]/$l[7])-$cpn->{'subprice'};
if ($tprice < 1  && length($tprice) > 4) {
    print "SPRINTF - $tprice -  " . sprintf("%0.02f",$tprice) . "\n";
}
[download]

$l[8] = 3.49
$l[7] = 2
$cpn->{'subprice'} = 1.4
$tprice = 0.345
[download]

The result of the top code - 0.34 (as expected)
The result of the bottom code is - 0.35

Does anyone have any suggestions about this?

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.


good chemistry is complicated, and a little bit messy -LW
