First of all, this is not real code. Your hash assignments lack an equals sign, the closing parenthesis on %theirs is an open parenthesis, and you're quoting the side of the hash assignment arrows that doesn't need quotes.

not

Your if block is not sensible. It seems that $_ should figure in the conditional somehow; isn't that what you want to test? Maybe something like:

if ($ours{$_} eq 'ns1.t') {
  print OUT "$_\n";
}
elsif ($theirs{$_} eq 'ns1.a') {
  print OUT1 "$_\n";
}

You mention a sort in your question, but not in your code. Could you give us a little clearer description of what you want your code to do?

• 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).
