You can use Time::Piece to perform the date comparisons. Then it's just a matter of choosing a sensible initial value to compare against. You could use whatever is first in your array but I've chosen to use the epoch here:
use strict;
use warnings;
use Test::More tests => 1;
use Time::Piece;
my @aoh = (
{ 'Name' => 'First Segment',
'Balance' => '183.57',
'days' => 0,
'First Date' => '12/02/2020',
'payment' => 0,
'Activity Date' => '07/05/2020',
'Total Commission' => 0,
},
{ 'Name' => 'Discontinue Segment',
'Balance' => '67.14',
'days' => 3,
'First Date' => '17/02/2020',
'payment' => 0,
'Activity Date' => '27/03/2020',
'Total Commission' => 0.12,
},
{ 'Name' => 'Last Segment',
'Balance' => '12.56',
'days' => 7,
'First Date' => '19/03/2020',
'payment' => 0,
'Activity Date' => '21/04/2020',
'Total Commission' => 0,
}
);
my $maxdate = localtime (0);
for my $hr (@aoh) {
my $date = Time::Piece->strptime ($hr->{'Activity Date'}, '%d/%m/%
+Y');
$maxdate = $date if $date > $maxdate;
}
is $maxdate->dmy ('/'), '07/05/2020';

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
