That works well. I'm lazy, so I usually do something like:
print "$_, $names{$_}\n" for (sort keys %names);
1) for == foreach so save 4 keystrokes.
2) I use the for ..
This is what I've been using and it seems to work well:
foreach $lastname (sort { $a cmp $b } keys %names) {
print "$lastname, $names{$lastname}\n";
}
I'm pretty new to Perl, though, and someone else might know a better way.
