I am having problems sorting a two dimentional hash. I have checked the prerequisite help sites (the stuff here at perlmonks.org) and perldsc, but they don't seem to work for my situation.

Normally I'd chug away at it untill I got it to work, but I needed it to work yesterday ... : )

So without further ado, here is the offending code, printing unsorted:

foreach $auth (keys %hash) {
   print FILE "$hash{$auth}{fname} $hash{$auth}{lname}: $hash{$auth}{c
+ount}\n";
}
[download]

my data structure is set up as follows:
$hash{author} has three fields, fname (first name), lname (last name), and count (number of occruences in a file)

I would like to sort the hash by the count field.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
