Hi Brandon,
Just a note about your code:

You should not call lexical variables "$a" and "$b" because this interferes
with the "$a" and "$b" http://perldoc.perl.org/perlvar.html variables used in
perldoc -f sort and now other functions. Reading from there:
{{{
* $a
* $b
Special package variables when using sort(), see sort. Because of this
specialness $a and $b don't need to be declared (using use vars, or our())
even when using the strict 'vars' pragma. Don't lexicalize them with my $a or
my $b if you want to be able to use them in the sort() comparison block or
function.
