Have a look at the List::Util core module, particularly the max() routine. Also be aware the array subscripts are zero-based so your

...
    my $pos = $data[1];
    my $cons1 = $data[2];
    my $cons2 = $data[3];
    my $cons3 = $data[4];
    my $cons4 = $data[5];
    my $cons5 = $data[6];
...

[download]

will be pointing one element too far to the right. You can also do that in one fell swoop.

while( <FILE> )
{
    my( $pos, $cons1, $cons2, $cons3, $cons4, $cons5 ) = split;
...

[download]

The default action for split is to split $_ on whitespace.

I hope this is helpful.

Cheers,
