I didn't find any. In the meantime, you could use a substitution:
my $number = sprintf("%E", -0.0001);
$number =~ s/(E[+-]
I've got this *really ancient* program (for which I naturally don't have the
source :-) that parses reports and expects floating point numbers to be in
the %e format with 2 exponent digits (I.E. 3.045E+06).
