yes modf seems to be the best solution.
thanks to all for your feedback!

So,
($w, $f)= some_subroutine(12.735)
assigns 12 to $w and 0.735 to $f.
Any easy perlish way of doing this?
after some research i was able to answer my own
thanks owen.
after some research i was able to answer my own question.

use POSIX;
$n= 12.735;
$w= floor($n); # assigns the value 12 to $n.
$f= $n-$w; # this holds the fractional value.
thanks!
