Yes nearly, I need there to be exactly 2 decimal places ie 1.00, 1.25, 1.50, 1.75, etc
Or the other alternative leave the value as typed by the user and give an pop up error if any other decimal is used?
Thanks for your help.

format::human::bytes
Format::Human::Bytes(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Format::Human::Bytes(3pm)
NAME
Format::Human::Bytes - Format a bytecount and make it human readable
VERSION
Version 0.05
SYNOPSIS
Ever showed 12345678 bytes to the user instead of just saying 11MB? This module returns you a printable string which is more readable by
humans than a simple bytecount.
use Format::Human::Bytes;
$readable = Format::Human::Bytes::base2($bytecount[,$decimals]);
$readable = Format::Human::Bytes::base10($bytecount[,$decimals]);
$readable = Format::Human::Bytes->base2($bytecount[,$decimals]);
$readable = Format::Human::Bytes->base10($bytecount[,$decimals]);
my $fhb = Format::Human::Bytes->new();
$readable = $fhb->base2($bytecount[,$decimals]);
$readable = $fhb->base10($bytecount[,$decimals]);
All functions do "intelligent" switching to the next unit, for example:
1000 => 1000B
[...]
8000 => 8000B
9000 => 9kB
The difference between 1000 bytes and 1500 bytes is usually bigger (for example because of a slow link) than between 95kB and 95,5kB. The
same applies to 8000kB vs. 9 MB and for the other units.
Depending on your usage, you may want to specify how many decimals should be shown (defaults to no decimals).
FUNCTIONS
/ METHODS
new
my $fhb = Format::Human::Bytes->new();
Creates and returns a Format::Human::Bytes - object.
base2
Callable as a function:
$readable = Format::Human::Bytes::base2($bytecount[,$decimals]);
Callable as a class method:
$readable = Format::Human::Bytes->base2($bytecount[,$decimals]);
Callable as a object method:
$readable = $fhb->base2($bytecount[,$decimals]);
Returns the correct readable form of the given bytecount.
Correct in this case means that 1kB are 1024 Bytes which is how computers see the world.
If you specify a decimal parameter, the result number will have the number of decimal numbers you specified.
base10
Callable as a function:
$readable = Format::Human::Bytes::base10($bytecount[,$decimals]);
Callable as a class method:
$readable = Format::Human::Bytes->base10($bytecount[,$decimals]);
Callable as a object method:
$readable = $fhb->base10($bytecount[,$decimals]);
Returns the incorrect readable form of the given bytecount.
Incorrect in this case means that 1kB is 1000 Bytes and 1 MB is 1000000 bytes which is how some (many) people see the world, but it's wrong
for computers.
If you specify a decimal parameter, the result number will have the number of decimal numbers you specified.
