This should read:
@sorted = sort { $myhash{$b} <=> $myhash{$a} } keys %myhash ;
^
Now '@sorted' contains the keys of your '%myhash', sorted
numerically, largest first.

Since '@sorted' is not a filehandle, this will be interpreted as a
glob("something"), where "something" is the catenation of all your
hashkeys, thus looping over all files in the current working
directory that fit the "something" fileglob (probably none).
You want
for(@sorted) {
# whatever
}

'@sorted' is an array, not a hash, $sorted{something} will not work.
