-values needs an array reference (not an hash) so the right sintax is
-values=>[sort keys %hash]

    Sorry, you're simply wrong.. What he needs is a hash reference: I copy/paste from the CGI.pm documentation: (in http://stein.cshl.org/WWW/software/CGI/cgi_docs.html)
    If you pass a HASH reference, the keys will be used for the menu values, and the values will be used for the menu labels.
      no, we are both right:-)
      (from http://stein.cshl.org/WWW/software/CGI/cgi_docs.html)

      The required second argument (-values) is an array reference containing the list of menu items in the menu. You can pass the method an anonymous array, as shown in the example, or a reference to a named array, such as \@foo. If you pass a HASH reference, the keys will be used for the menu values, and the values will be used for the menu labels (see -labels below).

      using an array reference has a little advantage:
      you have full control on how items are sorted...
