[Omaha.pm] Evolution or devolution?

["Jay Hannah" <jhannah@omnihotels.com>]

Here's three code snippets in 3 different chunks of code that do the
same thing... Is this progress?  :)

First example I found...

    my ($common_rate,$cnt);
    foreach my $rate (keys %common_rates) {
      if ($common_rates{$rate} >= $cnt) {
        next if ($rate < $common_rate);
        $common_rate = $rate;
        $cnt = $common_rates{$rate};
      }
    }


Second example I found...

   my ($highest_frequency) = reverse sort values %ratecount;
   @rates = grep { $ratecount{$_} == $highest_frequency } @rates;
   my @common = reverse sort @rates;
   return $common[0];


Code I just wrote:

   print [ sort { $common_rates{$b} <=> $common_rates{$a} } keys
%common_rates ]->[0];
