A subroutine with a series of returns is one way to make the logic simple and clear:

#!/usr/bin/env perl use Modern::Perl; sub figure_grade { my $n = shift; return undef if $n =~ /\D/ or $n > 100 or $n < 0; return 'A' if $n > 79; # 80% == A? Serious grade inflation! return 'B+' if $n > 74; return 'B' if $n > 69; return 'C+' if $n > 64; return 'C' if $n > 59; return 'D' if $n > 49; return 'E' if $n > 39; return 'F'; } my $g = figure_grade($ARGV[0]); if($g){ say "The student has gotten the grade $g for the score of $ARGV[0] +"; } else { say "Please enter a value between 0 and 100"; }
