I think it's anything which does a stringification.

  DB<137> $x1 = (1.15*170)+0.50;

  DB<138> p "$x1"
196
  DB<139> p $x1
196
  DB<140> printf "%.20f\n",$x1
195.99999999999997000000

  DB<141> $str = $x1.""

  DB<142> p length $str
3
  DB<143>

yep!

  DB<151> $x2 = (1.15*170)+0.50;

  DB<152> Dump $x2
SV = NV(0x32cc698) at 0x32cc6b0
  REFCNT = 1
  FLAGS = (NOK,pNOK)
  NV = 196

  DB<153> p $x2
196
  DB<154> Dump $x2
SV = PVNV(0x1cb938) at 0x32cc6b0
  REFCNT = 1
  FLAGS = (NOK,pNOK)
  IV = 0
  NV = 196
  PV = 0x31a4748 "196"\0
  CUR = 3
  LEN = 32

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
