But I think Ilya is a barking up the wrong tree here:
Well, at least it was not the intent. Sorry if my writing lead you to
such a conclusion...
This is just a reflection of a sorry state of Perl documentation.
There is NO OTHER WAY to round-to-0 but to use int().
I reread what I wrote, and I STILL see no ambiguity in my original
post; what I objected to is "two", not "one", in the following fragment
int Returns the integer portion of EXPR. If EXPR is
omitted, uses $_. You should not use this function
for rounding: one because it truncates towards 0,
and two because machine representations of floating
point numbers can sometimes produce counterintuitive
results.
Yours,
Ilya
