Another way to do it, without icky C-style for loops:
my $input = 'somelist';
open(my $in, "<", $input) or die "Could not open $input because $!\n";
my @sorted = sort map { chomp; "\t$_\n" } <$in>;
close ($in);
print @sorted;
my @rocks; push @rocks, pop @sorted while @sorted;
print "\n";
print "The names, backwards, are:\n", @rocks;
Or another way, that doesn't destroy @sorted in the process:
my @rocks = sort { $b cmp $a } @sorted;
Sanity? Oh, yeah, I've got all kinds of sanity. In fact, I've developed whole new kinds of sanity. You can just call me "Mister Sanity". Why, I've got so much sanity it's driving me crazy.

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).
