Hello, I've been searching for a very long time how to do the following:

I have an array, containing the elements (for example):

200 201 205 194 140 250 280

I want to substitute all values that are greater than 200 for the number 200, so ideally the new or modified array would contain:

200 200 200 194 140 200 200

My attempt to do this has involved using s///, tr///, etc. etc. Any suggestions?

my code: 

@array = ('200', '201', '205', '194', '140', '250', '280');
print "original\n" , "@array " , "\n";
$count = @array;
for ($i = 0; $i > $count-1; $i++) {
  if ($array[$i] gt '200') {
    s/$array[$i]/200/;
  }
}
print "new:\n" , "@array ", "\n";

which returns: 

 
original
200 201 205 194 140 250 280
new
200 201 205 194 140 250 280
