Hi,
I have a perl problem that seems like it should have a simple and
easy solution but that I can't figure out. I am trying to determine which
of a set of scalars has the highest numeric value and then to get the NAME
of the scalar (not the value) to use this to tell a user what kind of file
they're dealing with. Basically, the output of a long series of
calculations that analyzes newswire ends up with 5 numeric values (these
are scores for each domain): $financial, $sports, $foreigh_affairs,
$politics, $human_interest. These five scalars are floating point numbers,
as I said, I'm just looking for some way of figuring out which has the
highest value and returning the name of the variable.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
