Try (for example)


[discount ALL_ITEMS]
	return ($s * .75)	if [subtotal  noformat=1] > 499.99;
	return ($s * .8)	if [subtotal  noformat=1] > 349.99;
	return ($s * .85)	if [subtotal  noformat=1] > 249.99;
	return ($s * .9);
[/discount]

or

[set name="test" ....][subtotal noformat=1][/set]

and 
[perl arg=scratch] 

any perl stuff like if ($Safe(scratch)->(test) > 499.99) ....

[/perl]

I´m not sure about the right syntax of [set...] (i write this email
during my holiday and not from my own machine). 
Hmmm...maybe you get failure with all your codes, because you have
forgotten to use "noformat=1"? With perl, you get 0 (NULL/ZERO) always,
if there are any chars ($, DM, EUR, FR, etc.).
