Turning your code into something I can run gives:

use strict; use warnings; my $leftEq = -8; my $rightEq = -8; my $factor = 0.5; my $leftStorDelta = -15; my $rightStorDelta = -15; print "LEQ/REQ: $leftEq $rightEq\n"; ($leftEq, $rightEq) = ($leftEq + $leftStorDelta * $factor, $rightEq + $rightStorDelta * +$factor); print "Fct: $factor Delt: $leftStorDelta $rightStorDelta\n"; print "Post-LEQ/REQ: $leftEq $rightEq\n\n"; printf "%0.2f, %0.2f\n", 1.23, 1.345;

Prints:

LEQ/REQ: -8 -8 Fct: 0.5 Delt: -15 -15 Post-LEQ/REQ: -15.5 -15.5 1.23, 1.35

with a bonus line that shows printf in use.

Premature optimization is the root of all job security
