G'day loris,
Hash keys have no inherent order. If you want to retain the order you've shown, you'll need to specify it explicitly.
Here's two solutions in the one script. Pick whichever is most appropriate for you.
#!/usr/bin/env perl
use 5.010;
use strict;
use warnings;
my $animals = {
gnu => {
humps => 0,
},
dromedary => {
humps => 1,
},
camel => {
humps => 2,
},
};
my @humps;
push @humps, $_->{humps} for map { $animals->{$_} } keys %$animals;
say "Unsorted humps: @humps";
my @sorted_animals = qw{gnu dromedary camel};
my @sorted_humps;
push @sorted_humps, $_->{humps} for map { $animals->{$_} } @sorted_ani
+mals;
say "Sorted humps: @sorted_humps";
Outputs:
$ pm_nested_hash_extract.pl
Unsorted humps: 2 0 1
Sorted humps: 0 1 2

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).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
