The logic is a little bit off in the while loop ;-)

If during the day, you advance to the next level, number of votes you can cast for that day is still based on your previous day's level.

However in your script, you do $level = $level->{next} first, and then right the way started to use $level->{votes}, which is the number of votes for the new level.

Not much difference in terms of the final results, especially take all the rand() into consideration, but the simulation is not precise.

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).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
