Re: Hash sorting (by value) woes

Another way (probably a little slower):

map {
    print "$etcpw->{$_}\n";
} sort { [ split /:/, $etcpw->{$a} ]->[2] <=> [ split /:/,$etcpw->{$b}
+ ]->[2] } keys %{$etcpw};

`[ split /:/, $etcpw->{$a} ]->[2]` [download] can be rewritten as `(split /:/, $etcpw->{$a})[2]` [download] Being right, does not endow the right to be rude; politeness costs nothing. Being unknowing, is not the same as being stupid. Expressing a contrary opinion, whether to the individual or the group, is more often a sign of deeper thought than of cantankerous belligerence. Do not mistake your goals as the only goals; your opinion as the only opinion; your confidence as correctness. Saying you know better is not the same as explaining you know better.
