Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Subtract 100 from first field in long list? Simple manipulation? Post 83384 by LordJezo on Wednesday 14th of September 2005 11:00:53 AM

Well that pretty much worked..

One thing though, why does it convert everything to scientific form?

When I do a manipulation on large numbers the results look something like this:

1.12649e+09

Ideas?

NAME
Net::IRC::DCC - Object-oriented interface to a single DCC connection SYNOPSIS
Hard hat area: This section under construction. DESCRIPTION
This documentation is a subset of the main Net::IRC documentation. If you haven't already, please "perldoc Net::IRC" before continuing. Net::IRC::DCC defines a few subclasses that handle DCC CHAT, GET, and SEND requests for inter-client communication. DCC objects are created by "Connection->new_{chat,get,send}()" in much the same way that "IRC->newconn()" creates a new connection object. METHOD DESCRIPTIONS
This section is under construction, but hopefully will be finally written up by the next release. Please see the "irctest" script and the source for details about this module. AUTHORS
Conceived and initially developed by Greg Bacon <gbacon@adtran.com> and Dennis Taylor <dennis@funkplanet.com>. Ideas and large amounts of code donated by Nat "King" Torkington <gnat@frii.com>. Currently being hacked on, hacked up, and worked over by the members of the Net::IRC developers mailing list. For details, see http://www.execpc.com/~corbeau/irc/list.html . URL
Up-to-date source and information about the Net::IRC project can be found at http://netirc.betterbox.net/ . SEE ALSO
