in reply to sort while push in hash
You might be interested in Tie::Array::Sorted which keeps the array sorted while you add things to it.
However, using autovivication won't work: if the array for a certain key doesn't exist yet, you'll have to create the tied array first (unless there's a clever trick I don't know).
Hope this helps, -gjb-
