Use this . I think you wud do better later to move the sort function to
a seperate sub
foreach $key (sort {
($$h{$a}{taste} eq $$h{$b}{taste} ) ? $$h{$a}{name} cmp
$$h{$b}{name}: $$h{$a}{taste} \cmp $$h{$b}{taste}
} (keys %$h)) {
print "$key \n";
}

Folks,
I want to sort my masked hashes into neat little piles for easier
digestion:
Please note this is _example_ data 8-)
my $h = {
a => { name => 'apple', taste => 3 },
b => { name => 'peach', taste => 2 },
c => { name => 'banana', taste => 2 },
}
I want to sort first on taste and then
