    <p>Note the description of <code>List::MoreUtils</code>:</p> <blockquote> <p>List::MoreUtils provides some trivial but commonly needed functionality on lists which is not going to go into List::Util.</p> </blockquote> <p>The minmax sub in List::MoreUtils will work but compare numerical values, instead of string lengths. However, minmax can be adapted quite easily to instead compare the lengths of its arguments.</p> <pre><code>sub minmax_stringlength (@) { return unless @_; my $min = my $max = $_[0]; for ( my $i = 1; $i &lt; @_; $i += 2 ) { if ( length($_[$i-1]) &lt;= length($_[$i]) ) { $min = $_[$i-1] if length($min) &gt; length($_[$i-1]); $max = $_[$i] if length($max) &lt; length($_[$i]); } else { $min = $_[$i] if length($min) &gt; length($_[$i]); $max = $_[$i-1] if length($max) &lt; length($_[$i-1]); } } if ( @_ &amp; 1 ) { my $i = $#_; if (length($_[$i-1]) &lt;= length($_[$i])) { $min = $_[$i-1] if length($min) &gt; length($_[$i-1]); $max = $_[$i] if length($max) &lt; length($_[$i]); } else { $min = $_[$i] if length($min) &gt; length($_[$i]); $max = $_[$i-1] if length($max) &lt; length($_[$i-1]); } } return ($min, $max); } </code></pre> <p>Note, I did not write the above, I merely added length in the comparisons where before the mere number was being compared. Unfortunately I could not test this because I do not know how the AutoLoader works and I kept getting:</p> <pre><code>Use of inherited AUTOLOAD for non-method List::MoreUtils::minmax_stringlength() is deprecated at script.pl line 9. </code></pre> <p>So if the OP finds himself using find max very often he could just exercise his license and modify MoreUtils to provide that functionality.</p> <p>If somebody more knowledgeable could verify that the above would work please do.</p>

    1. COHow do you propose to use `minmax` to return the string with the longest length?

    2. CO@ikegami: Ah, thanks for pointing that out. Not sure why but I was under the flawed assumption minmax would handle strings automatically. I edited my response to hopefully be more helpful.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
