I would expect the line to return 49 because you surely meant integer division. Perl 5 just doesn't have a user-available type integer. % perl -wle 'print 99.0 / 2.0' OR % perl -wle 'print 99.0 / 2' would return 49.5 because a coercion was required and float is the default for such things. But that may be the mathematician in me. Computers often do things I don't expect. my $numer = 99 as INT; (You know what I mean. Perhaps a DIM statement?) my $denom = 2 as INT; print $numer / $denom; ??? -- --> If you are presented a number as a percentage, and you do not clearly understand the numerator and the denominator involved, you are surely being lied to. <--
