I'm not sure I understand. This was done for the convenience of our

The code

$x = 0.061234567;
$string = sprintf "%.2f\%", $x * 100;

If I have understood things correctly I can't use -w or -W to determine if a
file is locked or not. So I tried figuring out how to get info using the
Mac::Files module and the FSpGetCatInfo function to get the information.
According to the module info:

Note that
"%.2f\%"
is exactly the same as
"%.2f%"

I frequently use 'my' with for loops in the following way:
for my $name( qw{ David Steven Eric } ) {
