Hello QM,
Another — possibly heretical? — option is to make max an inline function using a module such as macro:
#! perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use macro max => sub { $_[0] > $_[1] ? $_[0] : $_[1]; };
my $x = $ARGV[0];
my $y = $ARGV[1];
my $m = max($x, $y);
print "max is $m\n";
Output:
0:05 >perl 1334_Med.pl 17 12
max is 17
0:05 >perl -MO=Deparse 1334_Med.pl
Compiling 1334_Med.pl by macro::compiler/0.06 ...
sub Digest::base::new;
sub Digest::base::clone;
sub Digest::base::add;
sub Digest::base::digest;
use macro ('max', sub {
use warnings;
use strict;
$_[0] > $_[1] ? $_[0] : $_[1];
}
);
use warnings;
use strict;
my $x = $ARGV[0];
my $y = $ARGV[1];
my $m = $x > $y ? $x : $y;
print "max is $m\n";
1334_Med.pl syntax OK
0:05 >
Hope that helps,

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).

are good places to start.
