Toying with ORM but it seems much harder than juts writing plain straight SQL (yes I like SQL - it is GOOD). Anyway given table: 
create table stocks_daily
(
exchange char(10) NOT NULL,
symbol char(10) NOT NULL,
date datetime NOT NULL,
o real NOT NULL,
h real NOT NULL,
l real NOT NULL,
c real NOT NULL,
volume int NOT NULL,
adjust real NOT NULL
);

How do I return the MAX(c) (which is close price)? I have wasted lots of time on this and best I came up with is: 
    # get the max:
    my $high = $quote_model->search( 
        {
            symbol => $symbol,
            date => { '>=' => $date},
            
        },
          {'select' => [ { max => 'c',  } ], }

            )->single();

    print "high: ", $high->c, "\n";

The syntax is way whacky - This is far more complex than: 
select Max(c) from stocks_daily where symbol = '?' and date >= '?'

Anyway I always get error "Use of uninitialized value .."
