Just how tied to the hash are you? Assuming you have a function call such as:
myfunc($ts, $interval), then something like the following might also be worth considering:
sub myfunc {
my ($ts, $interval) = @_;
my $minute;
#
# Somehow get $minute from $ts,
# using the method of your choice.
#
# Ex., using the method in the OP...
$minute = substr($ts, 10, 2);
return $interval * int($minute / $interval);
}
as it appears to provide the same results you seek, but perhaps with a little less brain-damage....
Hope that helps.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
