Re: = vs cmp

You can sort with cmp instead of <=>; the question is if you'll like the results.

  DB<1> x sort { $a cmp $b } 1..10
0  1
1  10
2  2
3  3
4  4
5  5
6  6
7  7
8  8
9  9
  DB<2> q

whoops! I obviously am as stupid as I look. Didn't really notice this because all my ints are pretty much the same length, and the sorting by int gives fairly randomised results, anyway. Actually, I could zero-fill my script generated numbers, and store them that way.. That way I'd get the speed of sorting using cmp, and slightly simpler code. Hmmm, goes off and thinks.	[reply]
