Hi, I have a hash with keys of the format
sar0011_4 sar0203_3 sar0050_5 sar2001_1 sar0002_9 And I would like to generate a list ordered by the \d\d\d\d bit in the middle. I have this from the perl cookbook my @keys = sort {criterion()} keys(%gene_pool); but I don't really know how to approach the criterion() function Anybody have any suggestions?
