+# ch-2.pl Perl Weekly Challenge 250 Task 2 Alphanumeric String Value
+#=============================================================================
+# You are given an array of alphanumeric strings.
+# Write a script to return the maximum value of alphanumeric string in
+# the given array.  The value of alphanumeric string can be defined as
+# a) The numeric representation of the string in base 10 if it is made
+# up of digits only.  b) otherwise the length of the string
+# Example 1 Input: @alphanumstr = ("perl", "2", "000", "python", "r4ku")
+#           Output: 6
+# Example 2 Input: @alphanumstr = ("001", "1", "000", "0001")
+#           Output: 1
