integer(3)

integer - Perl pragma to compute arithmetic in integer instead of double

As shipped in IRIX 6.5.7. Unchanged since IRIX 6.5.

NAME
     integer - Perl pragma to compute arithmetic in integer instead of double

SYNOPSIS
         use integer;
         $x = 10/3;
         # $x is now 3, not 3.33333333333333333


DESCRIPTION
     This tells the compiler that it's okay to use integer operations from
     here to the end of the enclosing BLOCK.  On many machines, this doesn't
     matter a great deal for most computations, but on those without floating
     point hardware, it can make a big difference.

     See the section on Pragmatic Modules in the perlmod manpage.
