Hi monks, I have to access a foxpro database directory in a Windows machine (yes, still in 2019)
I'm using DBD::ODBC (1.06)
latest Strawberry perl
I created a DSN entry in the windows32 ODBC registry using:
Microsoft Visual FoxPro Driver6.01.8629.01

The code goes like this

use DBI;

$dbh = DBI->connect("dbi:ODBC:DSN=$dsn") or die($DBI::errstr);
$sth = $dbh->prepare("select monto from table producto where pid=1") o
+r die($DBI::errstr);
$sth->execute() or die($DBI::errstr);
while ($rs = $sth->fetchrow_hashref) {
    print "monto = $$rs{'monto'}\n";
}

The field monto is a double type (column with decimal numbers).
It has numbers with decimal values in it

But when I print the values, I get the values rounded up and no decimals.

monto has value of: 997.59

And the print shows: 998

Have also tried with Win32::ODBC, same result

Hope anyone knows how to go around this problem
