Would anyone care to explain what any of these varations do? Are they all

And while your at it you could also explain how to sort the reference by the
hashkey when
$hashkey looks like 'Mon-05'.
$hashref{$hashkey}{name} = $name;
I only ask because everyone seems eager to demonstate the perl prowess.
