Oops! I tested your code by reading the data from a text file to build @data, and it worked fine. While trying to
run your code with the rest of my code( I have built @data by parsing an XML file using XML::XPath), I'm getting errors similar to this 
Operation `/': no method found,
    left argument in overloaded package  
        XML::XPath::Literal,right argument has no 
      overloaded magic at C:\..\xmlrecord_parse.pl line 608.

Tool completed with exit code 255

So I've changed this portion of code, but I'm not sure if this is correct : 
          return 5 if (int($_[0]) >= 40);
          return 0 if (int($_[0]) < 20);
          return ((int($_[0]) / 5) - 3);

However, the results printed now are: 
1-1-2004    5-1-2004    mild

Whereas they should be: 
1-1-2004    5-1-2004    mild
10-1-2004    14-1-2004    very warm

What do I need to change in the code?
Thanks,
