If your Perl is relatively modern, you could look into given/when. Another idea might to write a look-up hash and draw from that. I'm not saying it's the best idea, but at least it's an idea. Update: and a rather popular idea, too.

my %values_for_h =>
    1   =>  [1, 0,  9],
    3   =>  [2, 1, 10],
    5   =>  [3, 0, 11],
    7   =>  [4, 1, 11],
   10   =>  [5, 0,  5],
   12   =>  [6, 1   6],
   14   =>  [7, 0,  7],
   16   =>  [8, 1,  8]
);


if (exists $values_for_h{$h}) {
    $j = $h + $values_for_h{$h}->[0];
    $p = $values_for_h{$h}->[1];
    $v = $values_for_h{$h}->[2];
}
