If you wanted to sort keys by their values, and then by key (when the values are identical), you could do it this way: 

use 5.010;

my %h = (
    a => 1,
    b => 1,
    c => 2,
);

say join '|', sort { $hash{$a} <=> $hash{$b} || $a cmp $b } keys %h;
__END__
a|b|c

In this example, I've sorted the keys using cmp since they're strings, but you can use <=> there too, if that will work better for what you're doing.
