hi monks,

finding my ways through the vast fields of perl using "intermediate perl" by o'reilly as a guide ... currently, in the middle of not-loosing-my-head while trying to understand the schwartzian transform ... one thing acutally strikes me: the following code is working sweet as: 

my @words = qw (Oli Sonni sonja oliver speedy 112);
my @output = 
    map $_->[0],
    sort {$a->[1] cmp $b->[1]}
    map {
        my $string = $_;
        $string =~ tr/A-Z/a-z/;
        $string =~ tr/a-z//cd;
        [$_, $string]}
    @words;    
for my $word (@output){say $word;}

The output, as expected is a "dictionary"-sorted list (acutllay, that's the solution proposed in the actual book itself): 123 ... Oli ... speedy However, I did come up with quite a similar solution. The only difference is that I stuffed the regexes into a subroutine:

my @words = qw (Oli Sonni sonja oliver speedy 112);

my @output = 
    map $_->[0],
    sort {$a->[1] cmp $b->[1]}
    map [$_, transform($_)],
    @words;    

sub transform{
        my $string = shift;
        $string =~ tr/A-Z/a-z/;#kleinschreibung
        $string =~ tr/a-z//cd;
    
}

for my $word (@output){say $word;}

As a result, I am getting the original sorting of the list. Some enlighted monk being able to see what I do not see ...?

Thanks in advance, Oli
