Hi PerlMonks,

I have a list of array hash

 
my @array_data;
[download]

for example: when I loop through I get

 
foreach my $hash (@array_data) {
    $logger->log( "HASH NOW: =====>  ". Dumper($hash));
  }
[download]

I get…

 
HASH NOW: =====> $VAR1 = {
          'Name' => 'First Segment',
          'Balance' => '183.57',
          'days' => 0,
          'First Date' => '12/02/2020',
          'payment' => 0,
          'Activity Date' => '07/05/2020',
         'Total Commission' => 0,
        };

HASH NOW: =====> $VAR1 = {
          'Name' => 'Discontinue Segment',
          'Balance' => '67.14',
          'days' => 3,
          'First Date' => '17/02/2020',
          'payment' => 0,
          'Activity Date' => '27/03/2020',
         'Total Commission' => 0.12,
        };

HASH NOW: =====> $VAR1 = {
          'Name' => 'Last Segment',
          'Balance' => '12.56',
          'days' => 7,
          'First Date' => '19/03/2020',
          'payment' => 0,
          'Activity Date' => '21/04/2020',
         'Total Commission' => 0,
        };
[download]

and so on ...

Expected output:

 
my $activity_date = $hash->{'Activity Date'};

print “Activity date:  $activity_date”;
[download]

output: Activity date: 07/05/2020

Have taken previous examples from PerlMonks tried this:

my $max_date = 0;
$_ > $max_date and $max_date = $_ for values @array_data;

Terribly I am doing wrong by not using the key (I couldn't able to get the desired output, sorry don't know), please give me directions to get the maximum date from the array list. Thank you,
