I believe you were doing this to round off "money numbers": numbers with exactly two digits after the decimal point. To do that, you need a slightly different printf format: printf "%%.02f = %.02f\n", $result; The two percent signs at the left print as a real percent sign (so as to print out the format specification itself for this example).
