I have an array of arrays:
@AoA = (
[ 0.5, "b1", "c0" ],
[ 0.4, "b1", "c1" ],
[ 0.7, "b2", "c2" ],
[ 0.3, "b3", "c3" ],
[ 0.6, "b3", "c4" ],
);
I would like to sort it on the 1st column (in descending order), and analyze sorted array row by row - if value in the middle column ($b) is duplicate, resample the elements in the row, then sort the remaining rows in array according to the values in 1st column (including the current one) and analyze as before - until all $b's are unique.
How do I sort over the remaining part of array?
my @sorted = sort @AoA; #sort on $a
my %seen = ();
my $j = 0;
while ($j < $#sorted) {
my $var = shift;
my $b = $var[1];
my $c = $var[2];
if ( ! $seen{$b}++ ) { # $b not seen before
DO STH WITH $b AND $c
$seen{$b}++;
} else { #seen $b before
my ($b, $a) = RESAMPLE;
# sort remaining array, from now on... and proceed analyzing l
+ine by line
}
}

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>

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).
