Please take a little time to format and indent your code properly. This looks like a mess. You can use perltidy if you don't want to do it by hand.
Also, is there any particular reason you don't want to use the reverse keyword?
You're right that you need to do something to the "for" line Let's examine that statement a bit more:
for (
my $i=0; # start with this value of $i
$i <=$#sorted; # loop while $i <= $#sorted(the last index in @s
+orted)
$i++ # increase $i by one after each iteration
) {
print "$sorted[$i]\n"; # print element number $i
}
Take a few moments to think and it should be clear how to reverse this loop.

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).
