Hi,
I'm trying to create an array of indicies got by sorting another array,
e.g if my array is @list = (4,9,3) then the array of indicies should be
(2,0,1). This question is already in the Q&A and the solution provided
by Merlyn is
my @indicies = sort { $a[$a] <=> $a[$b] } 0..$#list;
however I keep getting the message
Use of uninitialized value in numeric comparison (<=>) at test.pl
and indicies = (0,1,2), I'm rightly stumped by this and any help
greatly appreciated.
Thanks Damian
#!/usr/local/bin/perl -w
@list = (4,9,3);
my @indicies = sort { $a[$a] <=> $a[$b] } 0..$#list;
print ("\n @indicies");
