Given a hash like this:

$file{$pos}{TITLE} = $line;
$file{$pos}{SIZE} =  $mrounded;
$file{$pos}{VLENGTH} = $vlength;

# $vlength = "$d days $h hours $m mins $s secs";

How can I loop through the hash and get a summary of file lengths like this: 
There are n clips between 0-1 mins :
There are n clips between 1-2 mins : 
There are n clips between 2-3 mins :
There are n clips between 3-4 mins :
There are n clips between 4-5 mins :
There are n clips more than 5 mins :

Names of clips between 0-1 mins: ......
Names of clips between 1-2 mins: ......

The name of the clip would be stored in $file{$pos}{TITLE}

I've done this but using a really ugly & *huge* if-else loop (ugh) and think this summarisation could be done in a few lines of code.

Any & all suggestions gratefully received!
