# get values with numerical sort 
@values = sort {$a<=>$b} values %hash;
# get the array last value, that considered the max value of the hash

You can find only one key from hash... Some time you can have situatuin like this: max value = 5 but in hash present ${'asdf'}=5; ${'asdfg'}=5; This algorithm can show only last key or value...	[reply]

Hi Khariton, Yes you are right, for my previous node I just show how to get the maximum value in a hash. Now, I had updated the code, that will get the maximum value, as well as the corresponding keys. `# get values with numerical sort @values = sort {$a<=>$b} values %hash; # process each element foreach (keys %hash) { # get the key name of the maximum value print "\nkey : $_ : value $hash{$_}" if ($values[$#values] == $has +h{$_}); }` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
