Understood... thank you! In steps 4,5,6 I am having syntax issues. Is the sorted array on the right? @unsotrted = sort {$b <=> $a } @sorted; Here is my code:



#use diagnostics;
use warnings;
use strict;

my $file    = qq(/var/adm/sa/vm);
my $vmout   = qq(/var/adm/sa/vm.out);
my $cpuout  = qq(/var/adm/sa/cpu.out); 
my $art     = qq(/var/adm/sa/arout);    
my @ar = (); 
my @ar2 = ();
open (FILE, "<$file") || die "unable to open file $!";
open (MEMOUT, ">>$vmout") || die "unable to open file $!";
open (CPOUT, ">>$cpuout") || die "unable to open file $!";

while (<FILE>) {
        local $, = "\n";
        s/id//, s/wa//, print CPOUT push @ar, +(split)[16], $,;
        s/id//, s/wa//, print MEMOUT +(split)[4], $,;
}

close (MEMOUT) or warn "unable to close file $!";
close (CPOUT) or warn "unable to close file $!";
close (FILE) or warn "unable to close file $!";


@ar = sort { $a <=> $b } @ar;
print "Now printing array 1\n", @ar;

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.
