integer
Pragma that tells the compiler to use integer operations from here to the end of the enclosing block. Improves processing time on systems without floating-point hardware support.
use integer; $x = 10/3; # $x is now 3, not 3.33333333333333333
Use the no
integer
directive to turn off integer
inside an inner block.
