Get thee to your nearest bookstore and get a copy of the wolf book (ISBN ISBN 1565923987), which has an entire chapter on sorting in perl without resorting to `sort()`.	[reply] [d/l]

If you have to re-invent the wheel, then please do yourself a favour and use some more efficient algorithm, e.g. a Quicksort or a Shell-sort. CountZero "If you have four groups working on a compiler, you'll get a 4-pass compiler." - Conway's Law	[reply]
