Re^3: Sorting through a rollover

Well if anyone was interested, this is what I did to correct my issue:
Orignal Code Snipet

opendir(CacheDir,$Cache) || die "Couldn't open the directory $Cache: $
+!\n";
                @filelist=grep { /[0-9]{5}/ } readdir(CacheDir);
                closedir(CacheDir);                                
                @sortlist=sort {$b <=> $a} @filelist;
                
                for ($i=0;$i<$MsgCount;$i++)
                {
                
                    $filename=$sortlist[$i];
                    if ($filename)
                    {
                      open(ITEM,"$Cache/$filename");

New Code

opendir(CacheDir,$Cache) || die "Couldn't open the directory $Cache: $
+!\n";
                @filelist=grep { /[0-9]{5}/ } readdir(CacheDir);
                closedir(CacheDir);
                $z=0;
                while($filelist[$z]){
                    if ($filelist[$z] =~ /[0][0][0-1][0-9][0-9]/){
                    $bigfilelist[$z]=int($filelist[$z]+100000);
                    }
                    else{
                        $bigfilelist[$z]=$filelist[$z];
                    }
                    ++$z;
                }
                                
                @sortlist=sort {$b <=> $a} @bigfilelist;
                
                $i=0;                
                while($sortlist[$i]){
                    $filename=int($sortlist[$i]);
                    if($filename > 100000){
                        $filename=int($filename-100000);
                    }
                    else{
                        $filename=int($filename);
                    }
                    $filename=sprintf("%05d", $filename);
                    ++$i;
            
                    if ($filename)
                    {
                      open(ITEM,"$Cache/$filename");

Again I wanted to thank everyone for their input, I still learned a few things that I will use in the future.

OK, I was wrong the first time... $flag=""; $flag = grep {/[0][0][0-1][0-9][0-9]/} @filelist; $flag2 = grep {/[9][9][8-9][0-9][0-9]/} @filelist; if ( $flag && $flag2 ){ $FLAG=1; } else{ $FLAG=0; } $z=0; while($filelist[$z]){ if ($FLAG eq 1 ){ if ($filelist[$z] =~ /[0][0][0-1][0-9][0-9]/){ $bigfilelist[$z]=int($filelist[$z]+100000); } else{ $bigfilelist[$z]=$filelist[$z]; } ++$z; } else{ $bigfilelist[$z]=$filelist[$z]; ++$z; } } @sortlist=sort {$b <=> $a} @bigfilelist; $i=0; while($sortlist[$i]){ $filename=int($sortlist[$i]); if($filename > 100000){ $filename=int($filename-100000); } else{ $filename=int($filename); } $filename=sprintf("%05d", $filename); ++$i; [download] This is definatley correct, tested, verified.
