Don't worry, we've all been fairly new. With most of the stuff, most of us
still are.

This looks like a Perl problem rather than Win32-GUI. You assign the scalar
$stuff the first item of the list @_. That's the only item you'll get that
way. Your call to sort has nothing to do. Plus, you don't put the result of
the sort anywhere. What you want may be more like

my @sortedstuff = sort $a <=> $b, @_;

but since we're talking about a listview and these things have strings, it
would have to be

my @sortedstuff = sort $a cmp $b, @_;

I hope you don't mind my saying so, but you're gonna need to be more secure
in those basics or you'll never know where the problem is. There's tons of
tutorials out there. I myself learned most from just reading the core docu -
if you installed ActiveState Perl, it's probably
C:\Perl\html\lib\Pod\perl.html
