[Chicago-talk] isolating the values to right and left of the decimal

Steve, thank you very much. I did not know about the int operator.  Works like a charm.  Thank you very much.


Have a great night!

    my $time    = 13.32;

    my $hours   = int $decimal_time;

    my $min     = ( $decimal_time - $hours ) * 60;

    my $timestr = sprintf '%02d:%02d', $hrs, $min;
