Re: Sorting @lines

[JaWi]

This sounds like a job for a Schwartzian Transform! I'm too tired to give you any example code at the moment... Sorry!
Update: What a sip of beer can do! Here you go:

use strict;
use Data::Dumper;

my @data = qw( 124.43.adsf.ca 235.23.aer.ca 100.34.asdm.ca );

my @sorted = map { $_->[ 0 ] }
             sort { $a->[1] cmp $b->[1] }
             map { [$_, /(\d+\.\d)/] }
             @data;

Greets,
