If you do it this way there is no point in returning the subroutine
references in the first place. You are using global variables here
(even though you declare them with my).

Boggle. I don't think any program I write these days doesn't have one.

An exercise needs to be educational.

I don't think I do. I was only making fun of your claim, since you made the

An exercise needs to be educational.
I have worked in programming for 25 years and during that time I have never use

This doesn't do what I think that you think it does.

Until Perl 6, you have to break down chain comparisons like this into
separate comparisons, usually joined with 'and':
if ($start <= $timestamp and $timestamp <= $stop) { ... }
But the real problem
I'm working on yet another exercise from Intermediate Perl. I've been
