Since you're transforming anyway, might as well put it in a more easily sortable format!
map { $_->[0] }
sort { $a->[1] cmp $b->[1] }
map { my ($m, $d, $y) = m{(\d\d)/(\d\d)/(\d\d)};
$y += y >= $cutoff ? 1900 : 2000;
[ $_, sprintf('%04d/%02d/%02d', $y, $m, $d) ]
}
Or for extra speed, avoid creating all those arrays and references.
map { substr($_, 10) }
sort
map { my ($m, $d, $y) = m{(\d\d)/(\d\d)/(\d\d)};
$y += $y >= $cutoff ? 1900 : 2000;
sprintf('%04d/%02d/%02d', $y, $m, $d) . $_
}
Update: Added missing $.
