No wrong assumption here. I said int() get's the integer portion of the number, which echoes the FAQ:

# perldoc -f int
=item int EXPR

=item int

Returns the integer portion of EXPR. etc...
Reread my post, I make no mention of int() rounding. And you are incorrect, Perl's int() doesn't round down, it simply gives you the integer portion. 
# perl -wle 'print int(1.66)'

But, I do see where my wording may have been confuzzling, so I changed it a little.

    Yes it does automatically round the number down (which is simply taking the integer portion)

    Perl's int() doesn't round down, it simply gives you the integer portion

    Um, you might want to make up your mind on what "rounding down" means. :)

      My mind is foggy, so my clarity is not here today :) I made it (hopefully) more clear ;)
