Re: Sorting an array containing version numbers

Ignoring the "very optimised way" request, here's a "nice a proper way"

use version;

print "$_\n"
    for
        sort
        map version->declare($_),
        2.4.74, 3.2.5, 1.14.56,
        1.45.2, 3.14.75,
        1.12.0, 1.2.0, 1.20.0;

To put those values in an array in sorted order using this technique, I had to do this: `for (sort (map {version->declare($_)} @unsorted_versions)) { push @versions, (sprintf "%s", $_); }` [download] I also added `()` and `{}` to help my amateur mind see precedence and the for/sort/map boundaries easier.

You just had to change `print "$_\n" for` to `@versions =`.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
