True. But I don't think anyone has mentioned that this will generate warnings. But you can turn them off around that part of the code: 

my @sorted= do {
    local( $^W )= 0;
    sort { $a <=> $b } @data;
};

    Or if you're using a 5.6 or newer perl you can turn off just warnings about the numericness (see perllexwarn for more information). 

    my @sorted = do {
                   no warnings 'numeric';
                   sort { $a <=> $b } @data ;
                };
