Hi, All!
I have a file with two important columns in it separated by spaces.
I'll call these col1 and col2. I need to sort the data by col2 and
then print col1 col2 to a file. I know I CAN do it with perl, but
which way is faster for this kind of processing? Perl or Awk? I know

Why just limit yourself to AWK or Perl? What about cut(1), join(1),
sort(1), etc.?
These are good options as well. I'm just comparing the capabilities
and perl and awk on this matter because a colleague of mine is a die-
hard Awker and I myself have an affinity for Perl. Curiosity

The OP said they want to sort by col2 so that should be sort { $a-[1] cmp

Yeah, I didn't read closely enough.

Or perhaps a GRT instead:
perl -le'print for map join( , reverse /(\S+)(\s+)(\S+)/ ), sort

Hi,
I was trying to find out why $input_field{$colname} wasn't returning
anything when $colname = Attendance_Comment, and discovered this odd
behavior:
DB41 p join /, keys %input_field
/Attendance_Code/SchoolID/Att_Date/Student_Number
DB42 p join \n, keys %input_field

Wow - okay, I guess it all makes sense now. Input was from DOS file,
and I hadn't set $/ ! So the unchomped \x0d was remaining with the
final field and making havoc, esp. with printing. But if you're
interested:
Here is snippet of code that builds the @colnames array, reads input,

I do not fully understand the solution to the problem, p77-78 237.
First, the declaration of the array my @files in the subroutine
gather_mtime_between will be read every time find($gather,
$starting_directories) calls the subroutine. I take it the repeated
declarations have no effect and since
