in thread condensing code

Um, technically this won't work either for $total_nums = 1, much as friedo's version doesn't work for $total_nums values of 30, 60, 90, etc., based on the OP's original code. Looks like diotalevi's example using ceil() is better.

Update: Ah, I see you updated your version to add 1 after getting the int() value. Fine.

(Blush)Another Update: Uh, actually, not fine. Now yours doesn't work for values of 31, 61, etc.

    Wha??? Sure it does 31 => 2 and 61 => 3 just like the OP: 

    $ perl -e 'print int( (31-1) / 30 ) + 1, "\n"'
2
$ perl -e 'print int( (61-1) / 30 ) + 1, "\n"'
3

      Sorry. I got a little overzealous 'correcting' you. You're right ... I need to slow down a little before posting. :)
