- =head1 NAME
-
- integer - Perl pragma to compute arithmetic in integer instead of double
-
- =head1 SYNOPSIS
-
- use integer;
- $x = 10/3;
- # $x is now 3, not 3.33333333333333333
-
- =head1 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 L<perlmod/Pragmatic Modules>.
