Which raises the question: how do you format variables for output
without using a printf()?  

Much of what I'm doing in my loops is stuff like this:

printf("   <td class=\"fundamentals data\"><a href a=\"self\">%5.2f<span>",
                $port->bucketsize($i) );
and

foreach my $company (@{$companyArray}){
    printf("            <tr><td>%10s</td><td>%5.2f</td></tr>\n",
                $company->[0], $company->[1]);
}

How do I get $port->bucketsize($i) to be a %5.2f (example 1) without
using printf?
