Create two arrays with 55 elements. Both arrays will have the indexes 0 to 54. One will contain the frequency of the indexes; the other will contain the index number (index and value will be the same). You must then manually sort the frequency array in descending order and when swapping values also swap the values in BOTH arrays. Then display the six most frequently occurring numbers and how many times they occurred.


#!/usr/bin/perl
use warnings;

@freq = (1..10000);
for (1..10000)
{
 $freq [1+int(rand(54))]++;
}
@num = 0..54;

@freq = sort{$b <=> $a}@freq;

I am somewhat stuck as to what my next step should be I don't know how to swap elements between arrays. Thanks =)
