    You can, however, use File::Sort. Though for one reason or another whenever I've needed to sort data and couldn't use the sort utility, I've always rolled my own.

    Sorry - I wasn't too precise on that one. What I meant was if the command line tools for file diff and comparison wasn't sufficient, use sort and something handwritten as specified.
