Syntax in Perl has never been my strong point.  If it were me I'd try 
something like

if ($hits <= $req && $hits >= 0) {

or

if (($hits <= $req) and ($hits >= 0)) {
if (($hits <= $req) && ($hits >= 0)) {

I'd just end up jacking with it until it worked or I found another piece 
of code that showed me the right syntax. :)

I'm not sure why you want to mark so much mail as probably spam.  Mail >= 
0 <= 5 isn't normally considered spam or even probable spam.  Much of our 
legit mail falls into that range.  I'd envision => 4 < 7 to be a good 
probable range and >= 7 to be a good spam range (assuming of course that 
you've neutered some of the SA scores that are just plain nuts).
