[Perl-unix-users] Formatting problem

Mon, 06 May 2002 19:19:32 -0700

Dear All,
 
  Here is my problem.
 
  $price = "19.99";
  $special_offer = "59.40";
  $period = "10";
  $temp = $period * $price;
  $temp = $temp - $price;
  $temp = $temp + $special_offer;
  $hosting_price = $temp;
 
 
  Here $hosting_price displays 239.31 which is fine.
 
  But when $period is set to 1 like this
 
 
  $price = "19.99";
  $special_offer = "59.40";
  $period = "1";
  $temp = $period * $price;
  $temp = $temp - $price;
  $temp = $temp + $special_offer;
  $hosting_price = $temp;
 
  Here $hosting_price displays 59.4 instead of 59.40.  How do I get that one extra zeros.
 
  Are there any format specifier like C in perl.
 
  Any help regarding this would be greatly appreciated.
 
  Have a great day.
 
karthikeyan.
