Thanks aristotle for your exemple. It got me to understand much better eval with sort. Here is how I solved my problem. I wanted to sort on column 0, then 1, then 2... variably depending on user input. Here is my test code maybe it will help others. 
push my @tableau,[222,234523676,26256,5645,634,56,3456,5345623];
push @tableau,[333,2346,2356457,347,7745,67,3462];
push @tableau,[3.3,2341,2356457,347,7745,67,3462];
push @tableau,[333,2349,2356457,347,7745,67,3462];
push @tableau,[777,67567,4568458,45845,48458,4578];
push @tableau,[999,67567,4568458,45845,48458,4578];
push @tableau,[444,67567,4568458,45845,48458,4578];
push @tableau,[111,67567,4568458,45845,48458,4578];

my $grandeur;
foreach (@tableau){
    my $compteur = 0 unless $compteur;
    $grandeur = $#{$tableau[$compteur]} if ($grandeur < $#{$tableau[$c
+ompteur]});
    $compteur++;
}

my @sorter;

foreach (0..$grandeur){
    my $sortCriteria = "\$tableau[\$b][$_] <=> \$tableau[\$a][$_]";
    push @sorter,$sortCriteria;
}
$sorter = join " or ",@sorter;
print "$sorter\n";
my $sortfunc = eval "sub { $sorter }";
@sortedKeys = sort $sortfunc 0..$#tableau;
print "@{$tableau[$_]}\n" foreach @sortedKeys;

Good luck.
