This isn't related to Perl but to the postage aspect of your problem.

Those 24-cent stamps come in handy if you ever need to send first-class mail in large envelopes. The first ounce is $0.83, or 42 + 24 + 17.

First-class international letter to Group 1 destinations is $0.72 for the first ounce, so three of those is just right. Additional ounces internationally are $0.24 for Group 1 destinations as well up to 3 ounces. A 3.5 ounce letter is an additional $0.24 over a 3-ounce one.

You're probably already aware, but for the curious there is a USPS price guide at http://www.usps.com/prices/ with a page each for Domestic First Class Mail and many of the other rate types.

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