OK. I think everythings under control. Help comes from the wonderfully
detailed perldoc "perllocale". My environment variable LC_ALL was set to
"en_US" (US English) which changes the ordering of ASCII letters and
screws up my sort.
I now changed it to LC_ALL=POSIX and everything sorts as before. There is
a lesson in this somewhere (for me that is). The next time Linux
Installation asks me for Internationlising variable settings, I'll think
twice before saying "US English". Guys who want a the older sort
beahaviour all the time, would like to put "export LC_ALL=POSIX" somewhere
in their boot scripts.
Thanks to all who helped.
