Ahem, that was not the OP ... and by rounding, I meant that one version (by Monk::Thomas) processed 3.14159 as 3, and one version (by 1nickt) processed 3.14159 as 4.

AFAIK -- doesn't round to a whole number ... 

[08:19][nick:~]$ perl -e '$foo=$ARGV[0];$foo--;print "$foo\n";' 3.1415
+9
2.14159

... and anyway, the other version without the decrementation rounded _up_ from 3.14159 to 4, which is what seems stranger.

I suppose it has to do with the difference between for(my $i = 0; $i < $n; $i++) and for my $i (0..$n) { ... but I can't see it from here. Good example of why you should examine and test everything, I guess.

Remember: Ne dederis in spiritu molere illegitimi!
