Since your dates appear to be fixed-width, and are arranged year-month-day, there's no reason why you can't use the basic sort, as mentioned above:
my @list = ('2005-12-01', '2005-11-02', '2005-12-07'); @list = sort @list; print join "\n", @list;
If you want them from most recent to least recent, just reverse:
@list = reverse sort @list;
Things get a bit more difficult if your dates are arranged in a different order, but it's still fairly easy to do:
use strict; use warnings; my @sort = ('05-11-2006', '01-01-2005', '04-12-2005', '22-03-2005'); @sort = map { join '-', reverse split /-/ } sort map { join '-', reverse split /-/ } @sort; print join "\n", @sort;

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.
