Actually all the responses I have seen have answered your question, and I have seen nothing resembling abuse, though you yourself have been somewhat rude. If you found the answers to be unsatisfactory, you should at least point out why -- otherwise we have nothing to go on. >this is a news group, you dont own and cant control what gets posted. this >isn't your news group. No, but we can all control what posts we see. Most people are not interested in answering the same questions over an over again, which is why there exist lists of Frequently Asked Questions as well as the rather extensive documentation, which are both included with perl. If you refuse to read it, there is little we can do for you. The answer that you would arrive at if you did would be something like: $value = sprintf("%.2f", $value); But you do NEED to read the documentation. No exception. Without fail. Is that clear?
