in reply to Sorting Data::Dumper Output

Depending on what you are doing, you might be able to use Storable's Canonical Representation like this: 
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use Storable;

$Storable::canonical = 1;

my %hash = (
            x=> 'line 1',
            z=> [ 1, 2, 4],
            y=> { file=> 'test.txt',
                  length=> 200,
                  type => 'ASCII'
                  },
            a=> 'line 2'
            );


store \%hash, 'hashfile.txt';

[download]
While the stored file isn't human readable, it will always be the same given the contents of the hash.
