brusimm has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
I am new. New to Perl, semi new to programming. I have a new headache. here is my delima: I want to open a file with multiple columns. (Redundant statement, seeing as how I want to sort on the first column) I can open a file, read through it and print it to screen. But I can't seem to locate the key process on sorting the contents of a file before printing to screen, never mind printing it to a file. I have procured the O'reilly book, learning perl.

Where / how does one sort somelist?
