The hash was not suggested because of efficiency.
I suggested a hash because they require less coding and make your life
so much easier.
Less coding, less room for errors, nicer code, etc.
Not to mention that filling a hash from a textfile is trivial, so you
can move the associations into a file.

Perl's return operator isn't a variable you assign to. Maybe you want this?
return "Audit Volume"; #

if ($_ eq /AVI/) {
Above is not right.
Maybe '$_ =~ /AVI/' or ' $_ eq "AVI" '?
