How do I convert a string to number in Perl?
Example:
$str = '10.0500000';
$number = $str * 1; # 10.05
Is there another standard way to get 10.05 from ‘10.0500000’ instead of multiplying with one?
edit 2020: Answer is wrong, see comment below. I am not permitted to delete an accepted answer.
I am answering the literal question. Perhaps you want to format the number for display.
Both expressions
return the string
10.05.
