Yes, this is a very good approach. To expand on it, you could even dispatch to multiple selection functions based on other criteria (the OP doesn't make clear what the criteria are, but hints at them). Something like this (untested) example:
my %match = (
high => sub { $_[0] > 98.0 },
low => sub { $_[0] < 55.0 },
exact => sub { $_[0] = 77.0 },
);
# ...later...
my $test = decide_somehow();
if ($match{$test}->($consumption)) {
print "Test $test succeeded\n";
do_something();
};
There are other ways to generalize the approach; this is just an example that may or may not be appropriate, depending on other program constraints.

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).
