Rounding off decimals to the nearest number in PERL
Hi Guys,
I am generating a statistical report , below is the snippet of the code :
Quote:
$sliceStartTime = &convertTime($sTime);
$sliceEndTime = &convertTime($eTime);
$totalTime = $sliceEndTime - $sliceStartTime;
$nSlices = $totalTime / ($slice * 60);
Now, $nSlices stands for the time duration,meaning,the statistics will be displayed for that particular time duration. Trouble is, for certain values of $totalTime (which is the end time - start time ), i end up getting decimal values for $nSlices. I am coding this in PERL, and i wish i could find a way to round off the decimals to the nearest whole number. For example, if the value of $nSlices is 23.323232 i would like to round it off to 23, and if the value of $nSlices is 23.7878787 i would like to round it off to 24. Basically,anything over .5 and above gets rounded off to the next whole number, and anything below .5 gets rounded off to the previous number. Anyways that i can achieve this? Help would be much appreciated!

Is there a way I can round time in perl to the nearest five minutes?
For example if I have log giving the following time stamps
23,52,30 it would rounded up to 23,55,00
and
23,50,01 would be rounded to 23,50,00 (3 Replies)

It seems that perl sprintf uses the round-to-even method:
foreach my $i ( 0.5, 1.5, 2.5, 3.5 ) {
printf "$i -> %.0f\n", $i;
}
__END__
0.5 -> 0
1.5 -> 2
2.5 -> 2
3.5 -> 4
4.5 -> 4
Where we probably wants to use round-half-up, i.e. output should be as below:
0.5 -> 1
1.5 -> 2... (8 Replies)

SYNOPSIS
use Text::Context;
my $snippet = Text::Context->new($text, @keywords);
$snippet->keywords("foo", "bar"); # In case you change your mind
print $snippet->as_html;
print $snippet->as_text;
DESCRIPTION
Given a piece of text and some search terms, produces an object which locates the search terms in the message, extracts a reasonable-length
string containing all the search terms, and optionally dumps the string out as HTML text with the search terms highlighted in bold.
new
Creates a new snippet object for holding and formatting context for search terms.

Accessor method to get/set keywords. As the context search is done case-insensitively, the keywords will be lower-cased.
paras

Return shortened paragraphs to fit together into a snippet of at most $maxlen characters.
as_text
Calculates a "representative" string which contains the given search terms. If there's lots and lots of context between the terms, it's
replaced with an ellipsis.
as_html([ start => "<some tag>", end => "<some end tag>" ])
