You are getting these results because the array holds hash references.

This line of code pushes a hash reference onto the array
snip
> print OUTFILE "@sorted:\n";
snip
And this line prints out the whole array. To get at the individual
elements of the hash, you must ask for them individually:
for my $hashref (@sorted) {
print "$hashref->{cell} $hashref->{sect} $hashref->{carr}
$hashref->{RTD}\n";
}
Or all together with a hash slice:
for my $hashref (@sorted) {
print "@{$hashref}{qw/cell sect carr RTD/}\n";
}
You may find the documentation on references helpful:
