Rather than using transliteration you could employ look-ups and a GRT sort.

use strict; use warnings; use feature qw{ say }; my $intended = <<'EOF'; .,-;:!?"'`_#$%&*+/|=@\^~()<>[]{}0123456789AaBbCcDdEeFfGgHhIiJjKkLlMmN +nOoPpQqRrSsTtUuVvWwXxYyZz EOF chomp $intended; my $seq = 0; my %sortLU = map { $_ => sprintf q{%02d}, $seq ++ } split m{}, $intend +ed; my %revLU = reverse %sortLU; my @list = qw{ "Hello" Abel (hello) {adieu} @adieu [goodbye] Charlie ^Charlie ~Adieu zebra 21708 baker . - ; : ! ? " ' ` _ }; push @list, q{ first}; say for map { join q{}, map { $revLU{ $_ } } unpack q{(a2)*}, $_ } sort map { join q{}, map { $sortLU{ $_ } } split m{}, $_ } @list;

The output

first . - ; : ! ? " "Hello" ' ` _ @adieu ^Charlie ~Adieu (hello) [goodbye] {adieu} 21708 Abel baker Charlie zebra

I hope this is useful.

Update: I mistakenly omitted the space character from the start of the sort order string. Now corrected with an additional item " first" to check that spaces are sorted correctly.

Cheers,

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • 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.
