If you add the line:

        ++$fragment{$frag}{$val};
[download]

following ++$fragment{$frag}{items}; in the innermost loop in the main block you record the quantities at each price that were used to achieve each person's package.

Oh, small nit (that may be covered by "I left it the way it is ...")- you didn't allocate anything to E because it wasn't included in %fragment.

Perl's payment curve coincides with its learning curve.

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.
