Best I could do. But it's destructive to the hash.

use strict; my $HoA_ref = {'GAT' => [2, ['ttt',-3,1],['ttc',-3,3],['ccc',-1,2]], 'AAA' => [13,['aaa',-1,2],['atg',-2,2]], 'TTT' => [11,['tta',-2,1],['atc',-3,3]] }; sub print_zHoA { my ($HoA) = shift; foreach my $mc (sort {$HoA->{$a}->[0] <=> $HoA->{$b}->[0]} keys %$ +HoA){ print "$mc $HoA->{$mc}->[0]:\n"; print join(',', map {$_->[0]} splice( @{$HoA->{$mc}}, 1)) . "\n" +; } } print_zHoA($HoA_ref);

I think the thing that was throwing you is that $x->[][] is syntactic sugar for $x->[]->[]. Another possible confusing point is that in your function, you are receiving a reference to a HoA rather than a HoA. So anywhere you use $HoA{$x} it should be $HoA->{$x}.


"Look, Shiny Things!" is not a better business strategy than compatibility and reuse.
