I have a file like this (outfile):
mac client;16
windows client;32
my code is 
my %calhash;
my $key = "";
my $value = "";

while (<OUTFILE>) {
    my ($key, $value) = split(/;/, $_);
    chomp;
    $calhash{$key} = $key;
    }

foreach $key (sort {$b cmp $a} keys %calhash) {
    print TESTFILE "$calhash{$key};$value\n";
}

I have more code above and below but it works fine so I'm not
worried about it. But I do need help on this section
I think this code takes the file and seperates the two fields
and places them into $key and $value. From there I state
the key field is $key. Then I sort it in reverse order
by the windows or mac client, but my output to TESTFILE
is not right. I have been struggling with this for some time.
I am new and getting frustrated. What am I doing wrong?
Desired output:
windows client;32
mac client;16
Any help is appreciated. Thanks,
Ben
