in reply to Sort::Maker not making sort

Probably a little "side-topic", but I've seen an enthusiastic comment to Sort::Key, so you could give it a try even tough the interface is pretty different, and could not adapt to what you really aim to.

Don't fool yourself.

    With Sort::Key it can be done as follows: 
    use Sort::Key qw(ikeysort);
my @unordered = (qw/very_long short/);
my @ordered = ikeysort { length } @unordered;

    or also... 
    use Sort::Key::Maker sort_len => sub { length } , qw(integer);
my @unordered = (qw/very_long short/);
my @ordered = sort_len @unordered;
