Thanks for the feedback--maybe I screwed up but what happens for me is that
the ordered array (1) only lists the keys, not the array values the hash key
points to and (2) I still don't get an ordered list of the keys that are put
in the "ordered" array--it comes out un-ordered.
First, did you catch the later post that pointed out my mistake? Here's the corrected code:
my @ordered_keys = sort { $HofA{$a}[0] cmp $HofA{$b}[0]
||
$a cmp $b } keys %HofA;I took your line and just added a for loop/print for the ordered array and
got "red,yellow,blue, orange, violet, green" only as the result.
I must be dense but using just a Keys expression can't return the values,
can it??--wouldn't it be better to do a while/each and get both key and
value for the HofA somehow??
Yes, I only ordered the keys. Sorry if I didn't make that clear. That's all you need though, right? ;)
foreach (@ordered_keys) {
print "$HofA{$_}[0], $_, $HofA{$_}[1]\n";
}Hope that helps.
