Here is one shot:

%usernum = ( "server.one.com", "15",
                 "server.two.com", "5",
                 "server.three.com", "14",
                 "server.four.com", "9" );

foreach my $MyId (sort {$a->[1] <=>$b->[1]} map{[$_,$usernum{$_}]} keys
%usernum) {
   printf "%-s\n", $MyId->[0];
 }

Output:
server.two.com
server.four.com
server.three.com
server.one.com


Wags ;)

Subject: sorting %hash entries


I have a small query regarding how to sort hash entries in numerical order.

%usernum { "server.one.com" "15",
                    "server.two.com" "5",
                    "server.three.com" "14",
                    "server.four.com" "9" }

How can i get perl to return these 4 server names in the correct order,
server.two.com
server.four.com
server.three.com
server.one.com

Help much appreciated

Dan
