how sub can have 2 decimal numbers only?

[xman]

my $usdTotal = $Total / 6.2;

when Perl calculate it I hzave result like $usdTotal = 120.2435445466

but I need 120.24 only (2 digits after dot..)

how I can do it?

perldoc -f sprintf

Please consult the documentation first.

my $usdTotal = sprintf "%.2f",$Total/6.2;

or

my $usdTotal = int($Total/6.2*100)/100

how I can do it?

perldoc -q round

Does Perl have a round() function? What about ceil() and floor()?
Trig functions?

also, i forgot to take care of any rounding. ignoring any precision
errors, i should have said

$usdTotal=int(($Total/6.2*100)+.5)/100;

but you are correct about the precision errors. i forgot about that.
i always do my conversions with sprintf, so i never have to worry about
that.
