ehh.. hmm..

I've not used perl for a while, but try something like this:

$tmp = $number % 2;
if ($tmp == 1) {
  # ODD
}
else {
  # EVEN
}

'
the percent sign (in PHP anyway) is MOD or modulus. Modulus returns the remander of a division opperation. So the remainder of 2/2 is 0, but the remainder of 3/2 is 1.
