Hi
You have to roll your own sort routine. The example below splits each number on the "." and compares them section-by-section. Something like
sub sect
{
my @a = split /\./, $a;
my @b = split /\./, $b;
my $len = @b;
if ( @a > @b )
{
$len = @a;
}
foreach my $i ( 0 .. $len-1 )
{
if ( $a[$i] > $b[$i] )
{
return 1;
}
elsif ( $a[$i] < $b[$i])
{
return -1;
}
}
return 0;
}
my @s = ( "1.0", "3", "2.0.1", "4.1.1.1", "1.0.1", "1.1", "1.0.2", "2.
+0" );
my @t = sort sect @s;
print "@t\n";
__DATA__
1.0 1.0.1 1.0.2 1.1 2.0 2.0.1 3 4.1.1.1
there are probably more efficient ways to do this.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
