As you can see, my numbers in AVG are not accurately getting the average. Some of them are fine, some columns NEVER work.

Below is my output file. 

 qty search 1 search 2 search 3 search 4 search 5 min avg high 
 2  645    625   645    645    635    625    639  645

As you can see, some averages are 2.4 and 4.4 and I have no idea why. Obviously the other numbers are correct. Below is my code. 
   my $avg = $se1+$se2+$se3+$se4+$se5;
   $avg = $avg /5;

any idea what the problem might be? $se# holds the numbers as seen in the data printout above.
