Note that max_by() can also return multiple max's if it is used in list context.
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use List::AllUtils qw( max_by );
my $data = [
{ acc => 1111, Color => "green", Date => "08-06-2022", Step => "Plat
+form" },
{ acc => 1111, Color => "black", Date => "01-05-2019", Step => "Plat
+form" },
{ acc => 1111, Color => "reddish", Date => "03-21-2021", Step => "Pl
+atform" },
{ acc => 1111, Color => "blue", Date => "10-11-2020", Step => "Platf
+orm" },
{ acc => 1111, Color => "white", Date => "08-06-2022", Step => "Plat
+form" },
{ acc => 1111, Color => "red", Date => "03-21-2021", Step => "Platfo
+rm" },
];
my @mostrecent = max_by {join '', (split /-/, $_->{Date})[2,0,1] } @$d
+ata;
use Data::Dump 'dd'; dd @mostrecent;
Outputs:
(
{ acc => 1111, Color => "green", Date => "08-06-2022", Step => "Plat
+form" },
{ acc => 1111, Color => "white", Date => "08-06-2022", Step => "Plat
+form" },
)

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
