In our last episode, we saw: `@array = [8,9,10], [4,5,6], [7,8,9]; @sorted = sort { $a->[1] <=> $b->[1] } @array` [download] in which our nearly knowledgable hero is probably now thumping his head on his desk, realizing that he should have written: `@array = ([8,9,10], [4,5,6], [7,8,9]); @sorted = sort { $a->[1] <=> $b->[1] } @array` [download] Because the precedence rules say so, otherwise the second and third element are just tossed off to never-never land. -- Randal L.

You're right about that. I wasn't paying attention and just copied the line from the question. DOH. `72656B636148206C72655020726568746F6E41207473754A`	[reply]
