my $count = @#array + 1; 
my @array = sort { $a <=> $b } @array; 
if ($count % 2) { 
 $median = $array[int($count/2)]; 
} else { 
 $median = ($array[$count/2] + $array[$count/2 - 1]) / 2; 
}

$count = count($array); 
sort($array, SORT_NUMERIC); 
if ($count % 2) { 
 $median = $array[floor($count/2)]; 
} else { 
 $median = ($array[$count/2] + $array[$count/2 - 1]) / 2; 
}
