conjoint cards picking by using least quota`

Hi i have a requirement to pick the cards by using the least quota. Here i have designed with 4 card quota, each card consists of 14 cards in it. Based on the least count each card will be picked. I have written a lengthy code it . Is there any way of  making code to reduce

I'm glad you asked.  Code reviews like this can be a great way to learn new coding tricks.

The first thing that jumps out to me is that you have a number of "middle man" lines of code that you can cut out.  For example, these three lines appear in your code:

my $c1a1 = 999;
$c1a1 = QUOTACELLCOMPLETES("CardQuota1", 1);
$c1a_val[0][0] = $c1a1;


You can remove the first two lines and just use this in place of the third line:

$c1a_val[0][0] = QUOTACELLCOMPLETES("CardQuota1", 1);


Second, you've got a lot of code that could be more easily done with a loop.  Here's lines 144-157 done with a for loop:

for (my $i = 0; $i <= 13; $i++) {
    $c1a_val[$i][1] = $i + 1;
}


Combining those two improvements, you can get the entirety of defining @c1a_val down to five lines of code:

my @c1a_val;
for (my $i = 0; $i <= 13; $i++) {
    $c1a_val[$i][0] = QUOTACELLCOMPLETES('CardQuota1'. $i + 1);
    $c1a_val[$i][1] = $i + 1;
}


Doing that for c1a, c2a, c3a, and c4a should be a huge code reduction.  Beyond that, I could just offer a few miscellaneous tips.

The sortings can be done with one line instead of two:

my @c1a_min = sort{$a->[0]<=>$b->[0]} @c1a_val;


x1 could be defined with a one-line ternary operator rather than with the if-else:

my $x1 = ($c1a_min[0][1] == $c2a_min[0][1]) ? $c2a_min[1][1] : $c2a_min[0][1];


Instead of having an empty if then a non-empty else, you can rework the code to just need the if.  Recall that "not (A or B or C)" is equivalent to "(not A) and (not B) and (not C)."

if ($c1a_min[0][1] != $c2a_min[$i][1] && $x1 != $c2a_min[$i][1]) {
    $x2 = $c2a_min[$i][1];
    $i = 4;
}



if ($c1a_min[0][1] != $c4a_min[$i][1] && $x1 != $c4a_min[$i][1] && $x2 != $c4a_min[$i][1]) {
    $x3 = $c4a_min[$i][1];
    $i = 4;
}


Finally, lines 288 and 300 could be replaced with this line of code to immediately end the for loop:
