Your expression there is missing left parentheses.  If we guess at where 
to put them we end up with  

        (($data[261]+13)/6.6/8/2*10)/10

which doesn't make sense because why multiply by 10 only to divide by 10?

The code you posted is an odd mix of sophistication levels.  Did you 
write it all, and if not, do you understand it?  You seem to be in need 
more of a beginner's lesson to Perl if you need to know how to construct 
expressions like that and yet are working with code containing 
Schwartzian transforms.

In general, posting a lengthy program and asking how to enhance it to 
meet some new requirement is not what this list/group is about; that 
falls under "doing your homework".  We're here to teach you how to solve 
problems, not solve them for you.  You might still get solutions - like 
you did here - but things will go better when you ask for learning 
instead.
