in reply to Loosing Negative Values in Array Ref

I can't understand why it is happening, can someone help with that?

If you add

warn $tmp->[$i] = '0'; # Need to check for numeric or string values here:::
you'll never see any negative numbers. This means code before is problem, but what is it supposed to do?

    To avoid duplicated records I am using this code to combine them, getting a unique account number (second element) and the greatest values comparing them if they are equal, if you run the code you will see it better, but how could I still display the negatives?

      Your code my $uniq_key = $aref->[0]; is actually using the name, not the account number.
