Greetings ketema,
I don't know how wise this is (it feels unwise to me), but here's my code:
my @known = (
{ Attribute => 5 },
{ Attribute => 4 },
{ Attribute => 8 },
{ Attribute => 3 },
{ Attribute => 7 },
{ Attribute => 2 }
);
sub byIndex { $a->{Attribute} <=> $b->{Attribute} }
@known = sort byIndex @known;
my $new_item = { Attribute => 6 };
for (my $x = 0; $x < @known; $x++) {
if ($new_item->{Attribute} <= $known[$x]->{Attribute}) {
splice(@known, $x, 1, $new_item, $known[$x]);
last;
}
}
print $_->{Attribute}, "\n" foreach (@known);
Is there any way you can add items into @known all before your sort, then sort only once at the end? Seems to me that'd be better.

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.
