Re: Regular expressions and sort

Erm, why not just use an ST and do the matching once and not worry about clobbering $1 et al. More efficient to boot.

my @result = map { $_->[0] }
                      sort { $a->[1] <=> $b->[1] }
                      map { /_(\d{2})_/; [ $_, $1 ] } @f;

Thanks, your solution seems better. I will use it :-). But it still doesn't explain the strange behaviour of m//.	[reply]

No, because `perldoc perlre` explains that: The numbered variables ($1, $2, $3, etc.) and the related punctuation set ($+, $&, $`, $', and $^N) are all dynamically scoped until the end of the enclosing block or until the next successful match, whichever comes first. (See "Compound Statements" in perlsyn.)	[reply] [d/l]
