I prefer davidrw's map method, for this comparision, but in case anyone stumbles upon this and wants an alternative - you can use a hash instead:
my ($points, $quota) = @_;
my %compare = (
18000 => 24,
16000 => 23,
14000 => 22,
... );
for my $key (sort {$b <=> $a} keys %compare)
{
if ($points > $key and $quota < $compare{$key})
{
return $compare{key};
}
}
return 15;

Update: it doesn't work for 16626 => 21, because it assumes the keys increment in conjuction with the values, which 16626 => 21 breaks. Added link.

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).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
