       instead of double

           use integer;
           $x = 10/3;
           # $x is now 3, not 3.33333333333333333

       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 the section on Pragmatic Modules in the perlmod
       manpage.
