Well, in PHP that calculation is made well, so I think there is a bug

No, it's not.  PHP rounds off the number before printing.  In Perl:

printf "%.2f", $x;

or

$x = sprintf "%.2f", $x;


Ok, thank you all for your help.

I think that this is the politest blow-off I've ever seen. Well done.

:-)
Well, it is not a blow-off, but just a way to thank the responders because I found the answer to my issue by using sprintf() or by doing the multiplication then the division, and to also think in the future if it would be a good idea to store the numbers multiplied as integers.
