Re: How do I create a list with the 10 most frequently used words in a file?

this program shows the frequency of every word in the appeared order of the text file

No, it doesn't. It's sorting the keywords alphabetically. It's eqivalent to

sort { $a cmp $b } keys %count
[download]

To sort by count use this sort block

sort { $count{$a} <=> $count{$b} } keys %count
[download]

For descending order reverse the sort operands

sort { $count{$b} <=> $count{$a} } keys %count
[download]

You are correct, that's my bad, I was a bit stressed when I wrote this. I'll make sure to be clearer in any eventual posts.	[reply]
