( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??
> I want more than simply sorting the keys. Based on the keys I have to look up something within the object based on which I can sort the keys. For this I have to access the object's variables. Currently I create a global variable called $sort_self and I set this manually before calling the user defined cmp function byvalue, but this seems very unelegant.

it is not very elegant, b/c - sorry - you are violating OOP and encapsulation.

The best design is to add a method %keys=$obj->sort_keys_by_val() which returns your keys.

No need to tunnel $self artificially cause $self will be the first argument.

update

the code for this method can be taken from here

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • 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).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
