Hi,

since your Dump contains 2 'hostname' elements, i think you really have a ArrayRef which contains HashRefs.

you also have to take care of your sorting.

hopefully my example code helps:

#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;
use Data::Dumper;

#Hash Number 1
my %hash1 = (
    'hostname' => {
        '1' => {
            'pass' => 1,
            'cpu' => '0.07%',
            'box_name' => 'hostname',
            'capacity' => '0.41%'
        }
    }
);

#Hash Number 2
my %hash2 = (
    'hostname' => {
        '1' => {
            'pass' => 1,
            'cpu' => '0.04%',
            'box_name' => 'hostname',
            'capacity' => '0.25%'
        }
    }
);

#Array of Hash Refs
my @array = ( \%hash1, \%hash2 );

#Array Ref
my $results = \@array;

#Result Elements (Hash Refs $a and $b) are dereferenced and values of 
+key cpu is used for sorting                                          
+      
foreach my $router ( sort { $a->{'hostname'}{1}{cpu} <=> $b->{'hostnam
+e'}{1}{cpu} } @{$results} ) {
    print Dumper($router);
}
