Calm centred thoughts, control your breathing, use English and HTML well to gain enlightenment.
Hints:

• Structure your question. Be concise and include all the facts.
• Format your code without HTML in it. Let the <code> tag do all the work
• Indicate what kind of sort you require, you're using a numeric sort but the code implies words.
• Read Learning Perl, I do, when I fear I'm making a fundamental mistake
• Join us and learn the ways of Perl.

You'll find a great deal of satisfaction in being self-sufficient, and perhaps till then Perl will be a stranger to you.
