from "perldoc -f sort":
sort SUBNAME LIST
sort BLOCK LIST
sort LIST
Sorts the LIST and returns the sorted list value.
one of the examples given is:
# same thing in reversed order
@articles = sort {$b cmp $a} @files;
use '<=>' instead of 'cmp' if you want to sort numerically
instead of lexically (see the perlfunc manpage for more
information), e.g. "@files = sort {$b <=> $a} @files;". so glob
the directory first, then sort it afterward.
