You can use the pack function to pack binary data as a string. The packed data can then be sorted lexically:

    #!/usr/bin/perl -wl

    use strict;

    my @ints = (34, 0, 6, 9999, 1);

    print "@ints";

    @ints = map {pack   "n", $_ } @ints; # Pack the data
    @ints = sort @ints;                  # Sort lexically
    @ints = map {unpack "n", $_ } @ints; # Unpack it

    print "@ints";

However, there are quite a few caveats, such as dealing with negative numbers and hardware endianness. But, perhaps you could give a bit more detail about what you are trying to do before we go down those paths.
