That's true, it is easier, and I'm not sure why I overlooked it. Probably
because I don't use -M or -A much. However, it's even easier than you show.
There's no need to get the integer portion, 7.5 is greater than or equal to
7 just as much as 7 is.
Also, he wanted to check access time as well, in which case he should review
perldoc -f -X to read about -M and the other -X operators.
Good catch.
