I am surprised that your teacher didn't give you enough hints to do this. I am also surprised that your teacher threw in this "red herring" of 6. The subs handle any number of numbers.
View this as a "homework gift". You will need to work harder for the next one.
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
my @test = (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9);
print sum(@test),"\n";
print max(@test),"\n";
sub sum
{
my @nums = @_;
my $sum =0;
foreach my $num (@nums)
{
$sum+= $num;
}
return ($sum);
}
sub max
{
my @nums = @_;
my $max = -9999999999;
foreach my $num (@nums)
{
if ($num>$max)
{
$max = $num;
}
}
return ($max);
}
__END__

Ok, a very simple command ui.
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
print "enter 6 numbers followed by spaces:";
my @nums = split(/\s/,<STDIN>);
die "Input Error" if @nums !=6;
print sum(@nums),"\n";
print max(@nums),"\n";
sub sum
{
my @nums = @_;
my $sum =0;
foreach my $num (@nums)
{
$sum+= $num;
}
return ($sum);
}
sub max
{
my @nums = @_;
my $max = -9999999999;
foreach my $num (@nums)
{
if ($num>$max)
{
$max = $num;
}
}
return ($max);
}
