Hello CR18, and welcome to the Monastery!

You should look into the core module List::Util, and the module List::MoreUtils. They provide useful functionality for processing arrays:

#! perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use List::Util      'sum0';
use List::MoreUtils 'part';

my @array = @ARGV ? @ARGV : qw( -1 1 7 -4 3 -51 4 47 -87 ); 
   @array = sort { $a <=> $b } @array;
my @part  = part { $_ >=   0 } @array;

printf "Order of array:  %s\n", join ' ', @array;
printf "Sum of all:      %d\n", sum0 @array;
printf "Sum of positive: %d\n", sum0 @{ $part[1] };
printf "Sum of negative: %d\n", sum0 @{ $part[0] };

Output:

17:47 >perl 1384_SoPW.pl
Order of array:  -87 -51 -4 -1 1 3 4 7 47
Sum of all:      -81
Sum of positive: 62
Sum of negative: -143

Update: Simplified code by replacing sum with sum0.

Some notes on your code:

• It’s good to see that you use strict, but you should also use warnings.

• This line: @array = ( @array ); does nothing.

• This loop:

  for (@array){   #\sum of all numbers HERE  sumAll
      $sumAll +=$_;
  }

  can be written more succinctly in one line:

  $sumAll += $_ for @array;

  — the expressive power of Perl!

Hope that helps,
