Hi all! I would like to know if it's possible to make an array sorting with
a subroutine call.
Usually, a sort is made as, for example:


sort {$a <=> $b} @array;


But my intention is something like:


sort subroutine_call @array;

sub subroutine
{
$a <=> $b;
}


How could I do it?

Thanks.

Sergio.


You can do that. The Perl documentation on your system probably tells 
you how.

If you have ActiveState Perl, do this:

Start->Run->"perldoc -f sort"

Under a un*x perl, just do this at a terminal:

perldoc -f sort
