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 $.
