Hi, I have some data I will read into an array that is the format "some_string"@"date" such as "foo/bar/b...@07-23-2009-11.42.02".
To work with this, I will convert the date part (everything after the "@" to the epoch format so it's easy to sort accurately. I figured I would create a hash with keys being the original array value and corresponding epoch format of the date section of each array member. I was going to perform a sort, then start shifting values off the array of hash values while doing certain checks for other stuff. This all seemed like a good approach but it seems it's rather tedious to then lookup the hash key from the shifted array value. Anyone got a suggestion on a smarter approach to this? I am only a hack at Perl and don't mind reading how to execute it but I am at a loss for a smarter way to perform this rather trivial task!
