Hi all,

I'm sure I'm just being stupid here but I can't see where:

I have an array of hash references that I'm trying to sort by one of the
key/value pairs in the hashes (see code below).

I get various errors, the current one being:

Can't coerce array into hash at
/web/secure.miswebdesign.com.on-water/cgi-bin/manager.pl line 2392.

Line 2392 is the line where the sortfunc function is defined.

Thanks in advance for much needed help :)

Cheers,
Nigel

my @boat_list;

foreach my $boat ( $boats->findnodes("//boat") )        {
        my $section;
        foreach my $ab ( $boat->findnodes("section") )  {
                ($section = $ab) if ($ab->getAttribute("title") eq "General Details");
        }

        my $boat_details = {};
        $boat_details->{num} = $boat->getAttribute("num");
        $boat_details->{name} = $section->findnodes("name")->[0]->firstChild->data;
        $boat_details->{type} = $boat_type->getAttribute("title");
        $boat_details->{price} =
$section->findnodes("price")->[0]->firstChild->data;
        push @boat_list, $boat_details;
}

sub sortfunc { $a->{name} cmp $b->{name}; }
my @sorted_boats = sort sortfunc @boat_list;
