Tye, you are pushing onto a scalar. Perl usually prefers for you to push things onto an array. :)
>perl -Mstrict -we "my $foo = []; push $foo, 'bar'"
Type of arg 1 to push must be array (not private variable) at -e line 1, at EOF
Execution of -e aborted due to compilation errors.
>perl -Mstrict -we "my %h; push $h{foo}, 'bar'"
Type of arg 1 to push must be array (not hash element) at -e line 1, at EOF
Execution of -e aborted due to compilation errors.
I think what you wanted to say here was:
my %merge;
for my $key ( keys %myhash )
{
push @{ $merge{ join $;, sort @{ $myhash{$key}} } }, $key;
}
I like it though, and it helps me solve an e-mail consolidation problem I had been working on.

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.
