To add to Corion's comment the arrays in your original post and in your follow up are different.

It's hard to help if the question keeps moving!

update: the following is wrong :-(

Each element in your follow up array is the reverse of those in the origninal. (There's a hint in there!)

With that observation and another look at the docs I was able to sort the array in the order you're looking for using the method suggested by Corion.

You didn't say my $sort = (... either.

update 2:

Pursuing the reverse theme, perhaps you could consider an intermediate step:

#!/bin/perl5

use strict;
use warnings;
use Data::Dumper;

my @sort = qw(
  05-11-2006 
  01-01-2005
  04-12-2005
  22-03-2005
);

my @reversed = map {
  join '', 
    substr($_, 6), 
    substr($_, 3,2), 
    substr($_, 0,2)
} @sort;

print Dumper(\@reversed);
