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...

NAME

       nearbyintd64(), nearbyintd128(), nearbyintd32() - decimal round to nearest integer functions

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

       returns the integer (represented as a number) nearest x according to the current (decimal) rounding direction mode.

       In  the	default  rounding direction (round to nearest with ties to even), is the integer nearest x with the additional stipulation that if
       |-x|=1/2, then is even.

       If the current rounding direction is toward negative infinity, returns the same value as If the current rounding direction is toward  posi-
       tive  infinity, returns the same value as If the current rounding direction is toward zero, returns the same value as If the current round-
       ing direction is to nearest with ties awary from zero, returns the same value as
