[Denver-pm] Scientific Notation -> Dec?????

[Robert L. Harris]

OK, I'm parsing through a bunch of data.  Occasionally I get something like
:
$State="-7.7800825e-05"

Usually the "e" is capital ( I don't know why this product logs it this way
).  When the Capital E goes through the if statements below it converts
fine, but the lower case does not it seems...

I have put in the following sections to convert this:

  $State =~ tr/e/E/;

  if ( $State =~ /E/ ) {
    $State2 = sprintf("%.10g", $State);
    $State=$State2;
  }
  if ( $State =~ /e/ ) {
    $State2 = sprintf("%.10g", $State);
    $State=$State2;
  }


Any ideas?
