I have a module (yes, mod_perl) I'm constructing where I have the obligatory use strict; at the beginning, but now it is causing me grief further down. Excerpts follow: 


sub do_msalist {
    my (%country, %state, %msaname, @msakeys);
    ...
    foreach(sort by_americentric @msakeys) { 
    ...
    }
} #do_msalist

sub by_americentric {
    $country{$b} cmp $country{$a}
        or
    $state{$a} cmp $state{$b}
        or
    $msaname{$a} cmp $msaname{$b}
        or
    $a <=> $b
} #by_americentric

So now, the problem I'm encountering is that the use of strict is throwing a compile-time error with the package name of the hashes in the sort subroutine -- I've checked Camel2, Panther, and Hall, and none of them cover this particular dilemma in their treatment of sort.... What are your thoughts?
