You can write the sort without needing a separate array:

   $max = (sort {$b<=>$a} ($x, $y, $z))[0];

Or, you can do something like this

   $max = ($max = ($x > $y) ? $x : $y) > $z ? $max : $z;

(I'm sure somebody can simplify that)

If you get more than 3 vars, the sort is probably the cleanest way to write
it.
