Below does not apply to other example data posted later.
What about doing the comparison after converting the string to integer AFTER removing the decimal point ($x =~ s,\.,, ; $x = int( $x ) ; $x == $y ? ... : ... ;)? Won't that work?
# Uses addition to 0 instead of int() to force conversion to number fr
+om string.
use strict; use warnings;
my @compare = ( [ 1990, '19.90' ],
[ 465, '4.65' ]
);
for my $pair ( @compare )
{
my $from_api = $pair->[1];
$from_api =~ s,\.,, ;
$from_api += 0;
printf "%0.f =?= %0.f => %s\n",
$from_api,
$pair->[0],
( $from_api == $pair->[0]
? 'same' : 'different'
) ;
}

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).
