As a last resort, you could always: 

weekly = sprintf("%.3", $yearlyamount/52);
chop($weekly);
printf "%5.2", $weekly;

Except that it will produce wrong values every now and then. It will produce a wrong value whenever $yearlyamount/52 is less than 0.0005 less than a whole number - but still less than said whole number. This causes the "%.3f" rounding to produce a ".000" number, of which the last 0 will be chopped. The final result will be a ".00" number. But it should have been a ".99" number. 
use POSIX "floor";

my $yearlyamount = 5199.98;
my $weekly1 = sprintf("%.3f", $yearlyamount/52); 
chop($weekly1);
my $weekly2 = floor(100*5199.98/52)/100;       
printf("%5.2f  %5.2f\n", $weekly1, $weekly2);
__END__
100.00  99.99
