Hash lookups typically involve searching keys for values, so your logic is backwards. Rearranging the hash order and changing values to keys gives something closer to what you probably want.

sub mySort {
    
    $a =~ /(\d+)/;
    my $firstVal = $1;
    $b =~ /(\d+)/;
    my $secVal = $1;
    $firstVal <=> $secVal;
}

my %IP_Store = (
                  "UEH1_system_ip"   => "11.0.0.1",
                  "UEH11_system_ip"  => "11.0.0.11",
                  "UEH25_system_ip"  => "11.0.0.3",
                  "UEH111_system_ip" => "11.0.0.25"
                );
foreach my $key (sort mySort (keys (%IP_Store))) {
        print "$key\n";
        print "System_ip = '$IP_Store{$key}' \n";

Update: The mySort routine looks like it's not doing it's job properly or efficiently. If you explain how you want the output sorted, I'm sure someone will have good advice.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
