Re: Sorting an array by a substring of its members

well if the contents of the array are '1,fresh' and '2,testurl' I think that'll try to do a numerical sort on the pair of strings which wouldn't do anything. I have tried { $b <=> $a } and it didn't work. I want the sort to take the two strings and sort the strings but only sort by the numerical p

Sorting an array by a substring of its members

I have an array of strings whose members consist of a number followed by a comma followed by a text string e.g. 1,fresh 2,testurl I want to sort by descending numerical order according to the number part so I made this sort subroutine sub by_counter_field { my($a, $b) = @_; $a =~ s/^(.*?),

Can I tie deep hash / Data::Dumper keys order ?

Hello, I have a hash tree, which sub- and sub-sub-sub ( and whatever ) items inside are all hashes. and the next step I dealing with this hash tree is to use Data::Dumper to dump it out. What I hope that the Data::Dumper result can keep the order as what I declared at very first. Is that anyway
