It depends how small your number is. Using perl, the limit is 1/10000 before it switches to scientific, and there's almost certainly a simple trick to go beyond that, which no doubt someone else knows.
printf and sprintf FORMAT, LIST
It's almost as easy to use as good old FORTRAN.
And if speed is important (for printing??) there are the hardware features for decimal formatting which seem to be universally ignored in scripting languages.
