This sort of problem is quite common. Here's some code that
appeared in comp.lang.perl.misc today:
if($match) {
(($rank = @ranks[0]) && ($percent = "1%")) if $value == 1;
(($rank = @ranks[1]) && ($percent = "2%")) if $value == 2;
(($rank = @ranks[2]) && ($percent = "3%")) if $value == 3;
(($rank = @ranks[3]) && ($percent = "4%")) if $value == 4;
(($rank = @ranks[4]) && ($percent = "5%")) if $value == 5;
(($rank = @ranks[5]) && ($percent = "6%")) if $value == 6;
(($rank = @ranks[5]) && ($percent = "7%")) if $value == 7;
(($rank = @ranks[6]) && ($percent = "8%")) if $value == 8;
(($rank = @ranks[7]) && ($percent = "9%")) if $value == 9;
(($rank = @ranks[8]) && ($percent = "10%")) if $value == 10;
}
$seniority = "$rank. ($percent)\n";
This always reminds me of the story of the Cobol programmer who was
paid by the line.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.

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).
