If you're going to use printf to round then you have to be aware that it uses the Round half to even method of rounding. I've been bit by that before.
perl -e 'foreach my $i ( 0.5, 1.5, 2.5, 3.5 ) { printf("$i -> %.0f\n", $i) }'
0.5 -> 0
1.5 -> 2
2.5 -> 2
3.5 -> 4
Without resorting to another module to round for you, you probably want use int() something like this (being careful to adjust the rounding value to match your circumstances).
perl -e 'foreach my $i ( 1.155, 1.255, 1.355, 1.455 ) { print $i, " -> " , int($i * 100 + 0.5001)/100 . "\n" }'
1.155 -> 1.16
1.255 -> 1.26
1.355 -> 1.36
1.455 -> 1.46

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).
