printf("%.2f", $num))

Anonymous Monk has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

How can you format to XXX decimal places without it printing to screen? printf displays the number to the screen, all I want is to chomp off excess of the 2nd decimal place and keep the value in $num. So.. I want to store this information, not print it.
