Use the sort function:
print sort @array;
and for largest number first use:
print reverse sort @array;
For your particular problem:
@sorted_array = reverse sort @array;
foreach (@sorted_array)
{
# whatever you want to do with each number goes here
}
This kind of problem is usually covered in most beginners Perl books. Might be
wise to invest in one ;-)
