I've checked with perllocale, but I just can't find any sense: how is it possible to have a > b _and_ in the same time a@yahoo.com < b@yahoo.com...? Krambambuli ---	[reply]

Oh - I hadn't seen that contradiction that runs counter to the intuition that "strings comparing larger" should compare starting from the left. I'm not sure what locale you actually run under. Maybe somebody who has actual working experience with locales can tell from `$ENV{LC_ALL}` or `$ENV{LC_COLLATE}` or `$ENV{LANG}` (see perllocale) what the active locale for your system is and how it affects sorting. I would still avoid locales, exactly because they introduce hard to track down behaviour.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

The problem is that I want to _reproduce_ under Perl the same order relation that the system level sort uses, as I want to process under Perl a file sorted outside Perl with sort and I rely on the strict ordering in the file to be conform with what Perl uses. Krambambuli ---	[reply]
