$var = "1.5";
$var2 = sprintf("%.0f\n", $var);
print $var2;
$var3 = 1.5000001;
$var4 = sprintf("%.0f\n", $var3);
print $var4;
The first Print statement yields 1. The second yields 2.
I am using PERL Version 5.006 (result from command below) running under
HP-UX 10.20.

You can test for your version with:
printf "perl version: %s\n", $];
I don't have a surviving copy of 5.6.0 for testing. I doubt
it was a problem in 5.6.0 since there is no bug fix mentioned
in perl561delta of a bug fix. Can you show the code you are
using for testing?
