Hi Athanasius,
The macro is indeed interesting, as I've not delved in there before. However, that may suffer from techical debt. If I define a max macro that only handles 2 values, I (or my replacement) may call it later and give it 3 values, and only get the max of the first 2. Still, some careful coding (probably duplicating List::Util's max) could ensue. Edited to add: Also, it seems the macro syntax uses significant whitespace, which bugs me. Edited to add (2): The macro doc page has this: which I'm assuming uses significant whitespace to figure out that say is a macro. (Or there's a typo semicolon on the first line.) -QM
