I don't understand what you mean, can you be more clear? Programming with Perl is new to me and I am not totally clear on your suggestion. Thanks, Hatem Jaber	[reply]

In this line: `$sales = sprintf "\$%.2f", param('Sales');` your $sales variable will end up containing a dollar sign plus whatever value comes from the 'Sales' parameter. Perl will treat this as a string, not a number...	[reply] [d/l]
