Hi Phil,
it states in the perl docs that the sequence of the keys returned from a hash
cannot be guaranteed, and even if they always return in the same order in the
current version, that may change in a future version of perl.
If you *need* the keys returning in a specific order, you have to code this
yourself.
One method I use is to have an array (which is always in the order specified)
and use that instead of the keys <hashname> clause.
For your example I'd use
my
@keylist=('hostname','os','osver','osrel','srvtype','srvmodel','memory','cpu');
and then
replace
foreach $CMD (keys %{$commands{$items}}){
with
foreach $CMD (@keylist){
