5.0 to 5.99999999999999999 truncates to 5. Try this code:
use strict;
use warnings;
my $x = .0006;
my $y = $x * 10000;
print $y , "\n";
print sprintf("%04d\n",$y);
print sprintf("%04.20f\n",$y);
print int($y), "\n";
_END_
6
0005
5.99999999999999910000
5
You can see that $y isn't 6, but it's really close. Print $y rounds,
sprintf(%d) truncates, and int() truncates.
