in reply to Sorting data structure

Something like this (assuming 'count' contains a numeric value): 

my( @sorted ) = sort { 
    $users{$a}->{count} <=> $users{$b}->{count}
} keys %users;
print "$_ => $users{$_}->{count}\n" foreach @sorted;

    And if it isn't numeric, replace the '<=>' (spaceship operator) with 'cmp' .
