The output works but it not in the order I expected:
I expected my output to be:
hostname, IP addrress, OS, Version, Release, Server Type, Model, Memory Size, Total CPU's.
But what I got was:
Model, Server Type, cpu, Release, hostname, OS, Memory Size, Version
It seems to me the hash started almost at the bottom of the list instead of
With the hostname and work it way down. Is there any way to force the
Order other than maybe specifying the array itself?.
As you have already figured out, there are no guarantees about order in a hash. The module Tie::IxHash will interest you.
perldoc -q 'How can I make my hash remember the order I put elements into it'
I think Tie::IxHash comes with the standard distribution from 5.8.0 onwards (not sure though). If not, you can get it from http://search.cpan.org
