my @sorted=sort{my $one=substr($a,rindex($a,'|'));
my $two=substr($b,rindex($b,'|'));
($one <=> $two) } @database;
This block of code takes my tiny pipe-deliminated database and sorts it by the number in the last field. When it gets to 100, it puts it right in front of the 10. This data comes from a flat file database (don't flame me. I've been over all that about flat files enough.) The number is the last field, so it is possible it has a new line character attached. That's the only thing I can think of that would cause that. I don't know where to put a chomp in this block though.
Anyone else got any ideas? I am totally stumped and could use any help I can get on 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).
