I don't see your sentiment (which I agreed with) reflected in your modifications to the example. To my mind, breaking it into understandable functions would end up more like:
# with this level of modularity almost anything is readable! sub determine_maximum_fee { # # functional description goes here # $fee = Roundup( Sum( @_ ) ); $fee < 100 ? $fee : 200; # all 100+ fees become 200 } sub Roundup { # # Increase just barely to avoid any rounding down problem # 100 * ( ($_[0]/100) + 0.0000001 ); } sub Sum { # # needs no description. # my $result=0; $result += shift() || return $result while (1); }

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post, it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!
  • Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
  • Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.
  • Please read these before you post! —
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags:
    a, abbr, b, big, blockquote, br, caption, center, col, colgroup, dd, del, details, div, dl, dt, em, font, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, hr, i, ins, li, ol, p, pre, readmore, small, span, spoiler, strike, strong, sub, summary, sup, table, tbody, td, tfoot, th, thead, tr, tt, u, ul, wbr
  • You may need to use entities for some characters, as follows. (Exception: Within code tags, you can put the characters literally.)
            For:     Use:
    & &amp;
    < &lt;
    > &gt;
    [ &#91;
    ] &#93;
