An alternative:
my @keys = sort { $hash{$b} <=> $hash{$a} || $b cmp $a } keys %hash;
my @col1 = splice(@keys, 0, $#keys/2+1);
my @col2 = @keys;
while (@col2) {
my $key1 = shift(@col1);
my $key2 = shift(@col2);
printf "%s => %s\t%s => %s\n",
$key1, $hash{$key1},
$key2, $hash{$key2};
}
while (@col1) {
my $key1 = shift(@col1);
printf "%s => %s\n",
$key1, $hash{$key1};
}
Updated and tested.
Incorrect original version:
my @col1;
my @col2;
my $t = 0;
foreach (sort {$hash{$b} <=> $hash{$a} || $b cmp $a} keys %hash) {
if ($t ^= 1) {
push(@col1, $_);
} else {
push(@col2, $_);
}
}
printf "%s\t%s\n", pop(@col1), pop(@col2)
while @col2;
printf "%s\n", pop(@col1)
while @col1;
