I need to process each 'jobid' after sorting by several criteria, and I'm not sure how to build a data structure to accomodate this criteria.

Currently, my program makes one, big table of all job id's, sorted by pass, fail, or partial. My goal is to create 1 HTML table for each key ( class name) )in the hash above. What seems important to me is to sort the data as such: 

$key = "class_name"
 $list_1 = "list_of_successful_jobIDs"
  $val1 = "12345",
  $val2 = "65432".....(and so on)
 $list_2 = "list_of_failed_jobIDs"
  $val = "98765",
  $val2 = "34567".....{and so on)
 $list_3 = "list_of_part_success_jobIDs"
  $val = "121212",
  $val2 = "393939".....{and so on)

in order to process each jobID.

Here's what I came up with, which obviously doesn't work. I post it here in case it gives any of you some more insight into what I'm trying to do. 

use strict;
use NBUX;
my $newkey;
my %jobs = bpdbjobs();
my %jobsClassKey;
my %classClient;
my %masterClassHash;
my (@successfuljobs, @partiallysuccessful,@failedjobs);

## populate 2nd hash with class as key

foreach my $key (keys %jobs) {
$newkey = $jobs{$key}->{class};
$jobsClassKey{$newkey} = $jobs{$key};
}

foreach my $class (sort keys %jobsClassKey) {

my $jobid = $jobsClassKey{$class}->{jobid};
my $status = $jobsClassKey{$class}->{status};

push @{$masterClassHash{$class}{$successfuljobs}} , $jobid      if ($s
+tatus == 0);
push @{$masterClassHash{$class}{$partiallysuccessful}} , $jobid   if (
+$status == 1);
push @{$masterClassHash{$class}{$failedjobs}} ,  $jobid            if 
+(($status >  1) && \
                                     ($status != 150)); # Termination 
+requested by admin
}

Currently, the way I do it is populate an array of jobID's and process as such: 

 # Partially successful
if ($#partiallysuccessful > 0) {
  print <<EOC;
        <tr>
          <td colspan="13" align="center" valign="middle" bgcolor="#ff
+cc00">
            <h2 align="center">$#partiallysuccessful partial successfu
+ly jobs</h2>
          </td>
        </tr>

        <tr>
          <th align="center">Class</th>
          <th align="center">Hostname</th>
          <th align="center">Job-ID</th>
          <th align="center">Schedule</th>
          <th align="center">Status</th>
          <th align="center">Server</th>
          <th align="center">Files</th>
          <th align="center">Tries</th>
          <th align="center">Start </th>
          <th align="center">End </th>
          <th align="center">Duration</th>
          <th align="center">Mbytes</th>
          <th align="center">Speed</th>
        </tr>
EOC

  foreach $jobid ( sort @partiallysuccessful ) {
    my $thisjob = $alljobs { $jobid };
    my $MB = $thisjob->{kbytes} / 1000;

    &print_report_line($thisjob->{class},
                       $thisjob->{client},
                       $thisjob->{jobid},
                       $thisjob->{schedule},
                       $thisjob->{status},
                       $thisjob->{server},
                       $thisjob->{files},
                       $thisjob->{trycount},
                       &format_hhmmss_time($thisjob->{started}),
                       &format_hhmmss_time($thisjob->{ended}),
                       $thisjob->{elapsed},
                       #&beautify_number($thisjob->{kbytes}),
                       &round($MB),
                       ($thisjob->{elapsed} > 0 ?
                        int(($thisjob->{kbytes}/$thisjob->{elapsed})*1
+00)/100 : "0.00"));
}
