Fellow monasterians,

I'm not sure whether I'm trying to sort an AoHoH or AoHoAoH, but I want to end up with an AoH ref for an HTML::Template loop that is sorted by month and then date, like:

July
   12 golfing
   20 retreat
   29 marathon
August...

Here's what I have now, but am getting different errors depending on how I treat the dereferencing in the "@s2_events" line, but the first sort (by month) is working.

#!/usr/bin/perl

print "Content-type: text/plain\n\n";
use strict;
use warnings;
use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser);
use Data::Dumper;

my $events = [ { month => 8,
                 name  => "August",
                 list  => [
                           { name => "retreat",
                             date => 20 },
                           { name => "marathon",
                             date => 29},
                           { name => "golfing" ,
                             date => 12}
                          ] 
                  },
               { month => 7,
                 name  => "July",
                 list  => [
                           { name => "high tea",
                             date => 15 },
                           { name => "rafting" ,
                             date => 23 },                            
+  
                           { name => "picnic",
                             date => 10 },
                          ] 
               },
             ];

my @s1_events = sort { $a->{month} <=> $b->{month} } @$events; 
print Dumper (@s1_events);

my @s2_events = sort { $a->{list}{date} <=> $b->{list}{date} } @s1_eve
+nts;
print Dumper(@s2_events);
#produces 'pseudo-hashes are deprecated error'

I've spent hours searching and haven't found anything that handles this complexity, so here I am back at the monastery. Thanks all.
