I am the -- vote, and I voted -- because there are several
accurate answers and yours did not even meet the technical
bar of knowing what the construct you want is called
(reference), realizing that constructing code had already
been posted (eg by me), or realizing that the person was
asking about Perl's native sort function. (Indeed if you
need to roll your own then you probably don't want to use
a comparison function written in Perl!)
Had this been something like CMonks or PascalMonks I would
have been voting ++, but it is not and so I didn't.

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).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
