Not quite. They don't round, they truncate:
round floor ceil
10.010 10 10
10.210 10 11
10.711 10 11

POSIX qw(ceil floor)

Rounding numbers shouldn't be a

Timothy Kimball has a good solution, but I have a generalization:
: Is there an easier way (or more efficent). This is more a curiosity than
: anything else.
Easy and efficient, as long as $archives_needed is always positive:
$archives_needed = int($archives_needed + 0.5);
Otherwise, if $archived_needed can be negative:
$archives_needed = int($archives_nee
perldoc -f sprintf
$archives_needed = sprintf "%.0f", $archives_needed;
