in reply to Finding the max()/min()

There's also the Quantum::Superpositions approach:

sub min { eigenstates( any(@_) <= all(@_) ) } sub max { eigenstates( any(@_) >= all(@_) ) }

In the real world, I'd use List::Util::max; if I wrote my own, it'd be this small variation on solutions above:

sub max { my $max = shift; $max = $max > $_ ? $max : $_ for @_; return $max }
