I am once again seeking some help (it's been a while which is good...I think?). What I am trying to do it sort a hash in a predetermined order by its value. I am sure there is an easy way to accomplish this but I'm a little stuck on it.

Here's the code thus far :

#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;
use Net::Telnet::Cisco;

my $host = 'voip-cme.compsciresources.com';
my $ssh = Net::Telnet::Cisco->new(Host => $host);
$ssh->login('xxxx','xxxx');

my %int;

my @output = $ssh->cmd("show ip interface brief");

foreach my $item(@output){
    chomp $item;
    $item =~ s/^\s+//;
    my($interface,$ip,$ok,$method,$status,$protocol) = split(/\s+/,$it
+em);
    next if !defined $interface or $interface eq 'Interface';
    next if $ip eq 'unassigned';
    $int{$interface}{ip} = $ip;
    $int{$interface}{ok} = $ok;
    $int{$interface}{method} = $method;
    $int{$interface}{status} = $status;
    $int{$interface}{protocol} = $protocol;
}

foreach my $member (keys %int){
    print "$member: ";
    foreach my $mem_value (keys %{$int{$member}}){
        print "$mem_value = $int{$member}{$mem_value} ";
    }
    print "\n";
}

I would like to order the output in the order in which I fill the hash as listed above, so (ip, ok, method, status, protocol). This is going to eventually be used as a nagios check and it would be great if the output could be in a consistent order.

Thank you for your wisdom

• 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).
