Re: comparing and removing values from an array of hashes

For numeric maximum, you can use max from List::Util. To filter the array, use grep.

#!/usr/bin/perl
use warnings;
use strict;

use Data::Dumper;
use List::Util qw(max);

my @DA_head = qw(name check duration quantity price);
my @DA;

foreach ("A,Star_1GB,MONTH,1000,0",
         "B,Unlim60,MONTH,1000,6000",
         "C,Unlim,DAY,50,6000",
         "D,,MONTH,500,8000") {
         my %rec;

         @rec{@DA_head} = split /,/, $_;
         push @DA, \%rec;
}

my @checked = grep length $_->{check}, @DA;

my @max_dur;
for my $maxdur (qw/MONTH WEEK DAY/) {
    @max_dur = grep $maxdur eq $_->{duration}, @checked;
    last if @max_dur;
}


my @maximal = @max_dur;
for my $attr (qw/quantity price/) {
    my $max = max map $_->{$attr}, @maximal;
    @maximal = grep $max == $_->{$attr}, @maximal;
}

print Dumper \@maximal;
