Yes, that is what I think too.
I mean, since you are a Perl dude, you should have thought of just adding an
"old_price" field, instead of wasting time changing half the code (I don't
think it takes that much changes anyway).

why dont you just do it the easy way and add an "old_price" field. :) i'm
assuming you wont really need to do any calculations on it, it's only there
for display purposes?
