With reference to your update, you were pretty close, you just needed to actually compare the values to went to the trouble of extracting :) ...
sub files_sort {
my $first_number;
my $second_number;
if ($a =~ /(\d+)_(\d+)_duration_(\w+)_comptage_(\d+).txt$/){
$first_number = $1;
}
if ($b =~ /(\d+)_(\d+)_duration_(\w+)_comptage_(\d+).txt$/){
$second_number = $1;
}
$first_number <=> $second_number;
}
Have a look in 'perldoc perlop' if you don't know what the 'space ship' operator does, it's _very_ handy for sort functions, and is doing what you were trying to do with your if's and elses.
I would add though, that if this was my code, I'd probably write a sub to extract the index number from the file name, and write the whole thing like this.
sub my_sort {
parse_file_name($a) <=> parse_file_name($b);
}
sub parse_file_name {
if ($_[0] =~ /(\d+)_\d+_duration_\w+_comptage_\d+.txt$/) {
return $1;
} else {
return 0;
}
}

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).
