rounding numerical values: how to achieve “round half away from zero” with printf?

- http://stackoverflow.com/questions/178539/how-do-you-round-a-floating-point-number-in-perl
To be more precise: I actually mean “considering a given precision” of real numbers.
In Germany (in a financial context at least) “round half away from zero” is being used. …
Look at this – can you explain it?:
$ perl -e '$h = 3272.505; printf "%.2f --- %.10fn",$h,$h;'
3272.51 --- 3272.5050000000
$ perl -e '$h = 622.775; printf "%.2f --- %.10fn",$h,$h;'
622.77 --- 622.7750000000I think we don’t see, what the real numbers really are. 3272.505 is supposedly kept as something like 3272.50499999 (<) as supposed to 622.775, which is supposedly kept closer (>=) to what we see. Apparently the results are acceptable outside the financial world, but within the financial world they are totally unacceptable. I have no idea, why the Perl community has been allowing this for such a long time.
Update 2015-11-21:
I fiddled on a subroutine, that essentially takes parameters like this:
sprintf("%7.2f",3272.505);For the time being I call it like this:
&round_real_number__half_away_from_zero(
'v' => 3272.505,
'total_length' => 7,
'post_decimal_points_digits' => 2);In a way I am quite disappointed, that sprintf does not do, what I expect it to do.

the Jenkins “JobConfigHistory” plugin
This plugin saves a copy of the configuration file of a job (config.xml) for every change made and of the system configuration (not activated by default). You can also see what changes have been made by which user if you configured a security policy.
-
the Jenkins “Config File Provider” plugin — allows you to copy various similar configuration files to all your nodes — also adds the ability to edit those files through the Jenkins UI
Adds the ability to provide configuration files (i.e., settings.xml for maven, XML, groovy, custom files, etc.) loaded through the Jenkins UI which will be copied to the job’s workspace.
