How does one tell perl to perform mathematical operations?
I have a file with a series of items like this:
>BLAH1
Length = 500
Identities = 20/100.

>BLAH2
Length = 400
Identities = 30/70

For each item called BLAH, I want to pick the denominator in Identites and
divide by Length and calculate percentage.
Eg. for BLAH1: 100/500 * 100 = 20%
and later , print all BLAHs for which the value is >50%.

I csn write reg exps to find the numbers i am interested in, but am not
sure how to go further..

thanks,
-nandita
