I liked your approach to this, just one question, the code works with the dates in MM-DD-YYYY and YYYY-MM-DD, is this on this part of the code " 2,0,1", that's the part I am confused with it, thanks!
#!/usr/bin/env perl
#use 5.032;
use strict;
use warnings;
use Data::Dumper;
my @dates = qw( 02-03-2003 03-01-2022 01-15-2022 01-15-2023 01-15-2001
+ 11-15-2023);
#my @dates = qw( 2003-02-03 2015-03-01 2032-01-15 2023-01-15 2001-01-1
+5 2028-11-15);
print "\n\n ".Dumper \@dates;
my @sorted = sort { my $new_a = join( q{-}, (split(/-/,$a))[2,0,1] );
my $new_b = join( q{-}, (split(/-/,$b))[2,0,1] );
$new_b cmp $new_a } @dates;
print "\n\n $sorted[0]\n\n";

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).
