davebaker,
In both cases, you are calculating the expensive_func() only once per item and sorting the list based off the result of the expensive_func(). The biggest difference is that in the standard ST, you do it in a single step and have no left over variable.

Thanks! I hadn't considered the left over variable. I'd want to add this line before my sorted-hash code snippet:

my %result_for;

(That doesn't eliminate any drawbacks to having a left over variable as compared to the ST, but it would be safer coding I think.)
