I changed my code Like you sugessted. that got rid of the "out of memory
issue" but it's still not sorting the array baised on $a->[1] or $a->[8], Or
in english, It's sorting the list biased on the 8th colum, or any colum for
that matter.
I don't know why I'm having such a hard time understanding this sort
function. The Subroutine passed to the sort function confusses me, It's not
a real subroutin but it is somehow. And how sort uses the sub to figure out
how to sort what, and
in what order, is blowing my mind.

In the sort block, $a and $b are *elements* of @data, not *subscripts*. Your
sort block should be more like
{ $a->[0] <=> $b->[0] }
