It probably is not possible to predict the results in every case. Consider these two runs of your function. Only the second replicates your original problem.
use strict; use warnings; no warnings 'experimental::signatures'; use feature 'signatures'; sub amnt($amn) { my $amount=$_[0]; print "$amount i m checking amount before padding,\n"; my $padamnt = sprintf("%016d",$amount); print "$padamnt i m checking amount after padding,\n"; return $padamnt; } print "EXACT integer\n"; amnt(488715); print "\n\nNot quite an integer\n"; amnt(488715 - 4e-10);

OUTPUT:

EXACT integer 488715 i m checking amount before padding, 0000000000488715 i m checking amount after padding, Not quite an integer 488715 i m checking amount before padding, 0000000000488714 i m checking amount after padding,

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • 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.
