Hi, to round decimals numbers to a price (2 dec)
I have 
my $p = &PricePerUnit(..);
$units = int(0.5 + ($units*$p*100) )/100;

As I always got s.th. like 123.99, but I don't want 'super-market-prices'!
I 'explode' this calc and I found 
int(0.5 + ($units*$p*100) ) => 12400 (ok!!)

but now deviding 12400 by 100 I get
    123.99 instead of 124.00 or 124

What is my mistake? The accepted non-accuracy can't be that big?
