For some stupid reason I was imagining that
foreach(sort { $hash{$a} <=> $hash{$b} } keys %hash) {
was going to sort by the keys and not the values, overlooking the
comparison being based on the value, thanks for pointing it out (now I
understand :-)

Err... This will not work... You will be trying to get a hash value
based on the value...
It's early....
my %hash=(thumb='122',tom=>'21',muffit=>'48',miss=>'31');
foreach(sort { $hash{$a} <=> $hash{$b} } values %hash) {
print "$_\n";
}
this will evaluate to this in the sort:
$hash{122} <=> $hash{21} (as an example)
This will not give you any sort at all since both values are null...
