Probably silly floating comparison question

If we compare the output of:
my $i = 0;
while($i <= 2) {
$i += .1;
print"$i\n";
}
with:
my $i = 0;
while($i <= 2) {
$i += 1;
print"$i\n";
}
then the first one finishes with 2 and the last one finishes with 3.
I assume this is a rounding error with floating point values. How can I
make it do what I would expect it to do, which is make the first one
finish with 2.1?

Andrew
