Gentlemen, Can you please help me understand why this calculation is coming out to be wrong? I was expecting int (42435.3408/411.9936) as 103. Perl prints the result is 103 but when used int function on the result it is getting 102!! Here is the code to reproduce the issue... $i = (42435.3408/411.9936); $j = $i; $k = int $j; $l = int(103); print "$i, $j, $k, $l\n"; It prints 103, 103, 102, 103 Should the value of $l be 103? If I use pragma integer (use integer;) at the top then all varaibles are showing 103. I wanted it to be 103 without having to explicitly 'rounding'. Thanks for the help. -Anju
