in reply to Changing Perl's sort Default

This is one way to "change the default", but i think is a bit odd:

sub sort { sort { $a <=> $b } @_ } @a=qw(1 12 11 102); @a = &sort (@a); print "@a";' Output: 1 11 12 102

It works because &sort calls main::sort, instead of CORE::sort

    This is the "numerical + alphabetical" version:

    sub sort { sort { ($a <=> $b) or ($a cmp $b) } @_ } @a=qw( 1 12 11 102 ddd abc cba 1c 1a ); @a = &sort (@a); print "@a\n"; Output: abc cba ddd 1 1a 1c 11 12 102
