I see what you mean
I assume the following would be a better way of going at it
$max = $min = $data[0];
foreach $val (@data) {
$min = $val<$min ? $val:$min;
$max = $val>$max ? $val:$max;
}

IMHO sorting a list to find the max and min element is not a good idea.
The sort is of O(nlgn) and the usual
run through the list to find the max element is O(n). This is not of
significance when n is small, at the same
time this is not a method that should be followed for this task.
