I know this would be fairly easy, but Im a programming newbie. How would you condense this code using a loop in perl? Thanks in advance for ur help. 
if ($total_nums <= 30) {
    $test_nums = 1;
}
if ($total_nums >= 31 and  $total_nums <= 60) {
    $test_nums = 2;
}
if ($total_nums >= 61 and  $total_nums <= 90) {
    $test_nums = 3;

}
if ($total_nums >= 91 and  $total_nums <= 120) {
    $test_nums = 4;
}
if ($total_nums >= 121 and  $total_nums <= 150) {
    $test_nums = 5;
}
if ($total_nums >= 151 and  $total_nums <= 180) {
    $test_nums = 6;
}
