What's the problem with using printf? Anyway, the following
code seems to work (although it doesn't do 'Bankers rounding'):
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
while (<DATA>) {
chomp;
my $o = $_;
next if /\D/ || /^$/;
substr $_ => -0, 0, 0 x (4 - length);
$_ ++ if 50 <= substr $_ => -2, 2, "";
substr $_ => -1, 0, ".";
print "$o / 1000 = $_\n";
}
__DATA__
12000
12678
5
49
50
499
500
501
12000 / 1000 = 12.0
12678 / 1000 = 12.7
5 / 1000 = 0.0
49 / 1000 = 0.0
50 / 1000 = 0.1
499 / 1000 = 0.5
500 / 1000 = 0.5
501 / 1000 = 0.5

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.
