Hmm, your code looks fairly... odd...

First, I recommend perldoc perldsc.

It does a good job of covering arrays of hashes, hashes of arrays, and all the other permutations.

Second, did you mean

my @keys = sort { $info{$b}->[64] <=> $info{$a}->[64] || length($b) <=> length($a) || $a cmp $b } keys %info;
I'm not clear on what the structure of info is, from your description. Can you post an example of how it gets initialized?

Also, your 2nd and 3rd comparisons are a bit strange. Are you really sorting by value, then by the length of the key strings, then finally by the comparison of the keys?

Odd... The length($b)<=>length($a) step looks quite out of place.
