That can't be right. Negation does not contribute to complexity.
Instead, I believe it is the for loop and the exit points that are
increasing your count. Consider rewriting the for as ifs and gotos:
sub complexity_of_six {
my $bar = shift;
my $total

I think it is fair to say, that to a human, negation *can* increase
complexity:
if ( $foo ) {
# do something
}
is a little bit easier to understand than:
if
