Well, do you want to round or trim? The number you mention rounded to 2dp
would be 25.00. Trimmed to 2dp would be 24.99.
To round the number you could do this
$number = "24.999997";
$rounded = sprintf "%.2f",$number;
print $rounded;
To trim you could do
$number = "24.999997";
($rounded) = $number =~ /(\d*\.\d{2})/;
print $rounded;
