integer(3) integer(3)
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.
