Re^9: Sorting text-number values

[Corion]

Are you aware what this line means?

use 5.010;

This enables features from Perl 5.10, but works on any version of Perl later than that.

As Perl 5.20 is a later version, use 5.010; has little effect there beyond enabling the say keyword.

Thanks for that and all your other contributions this morning. It is not quite what I thought.

However, johngg's pointer to storing the sorted data means that say is no longer required and the problem goes away.

I think my overall problem was that I do not understand what 'say' does. So far I have failed to find an explanation but I will continue my search!

Did you read the docs: say? Let me know if you need further explanation or a suggestion for improving this entry.
