I'm looking for simple (and fast) solution to extract maximum value from

One way to do it:
my $max;
$max < $_ and $max = $_ for values %hash;
And another way:
my $m
It depends what do you mean by maximum.
Assume you have numerical value as hash values.
You can do:
use List::Util qw(max)
my %hash = { foo => 3, bar=>2, qux=> 1};
my $max_val = max values %hash;
Hope that helps.
