the FORMAT notation used by prinf, sprintf, ... can be found on http://www.perldoc.com/perl5.8.0/pod/func/sprintf.html which gives: %e a floating-point number, in scientific notation %f a floating-point number, in fixed decimal notation %g a floating-point number, in %e or %f notation Just in case: scientific notation is something like XeY which means X times 10 to the poxer of Y (power first!)
