A moderate annoyance of List::Util::m(in|ax) is that they dont operate on tied values or situations where there is some form of indirection involved (like finding the key whose value in a hash is the lowest). Then List::Util::reduce() is your friend:
$min = reduce { ($a,$b)[$a < $b] } @list;
$min_key = reduce { ($a,$b)[$x{$a} < $x{$b}] } keys %x;
Working out max is left as an exercise :-)

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).
