I have a hash (%hash) containing the following Data.
Key (holding the score)
Value (holding a line of text)

Key    Value
12     First line of text
25     Second line of text
34     Third line of text

An array @scoreWords holds a list of special words. I would like to increase the score held in each Key by $y for each occurrence of any of the special words on each line.

Any help would be much appreciated
I have a second hash containing the same text in the Values and the line numbers in the Key

Key    Value
1     First line of text
2     Second line of text
3     Third line of text

I would like to use the sorted key scores from the first hash to find the highest scoring lines of text in the second hash by their line numbers.

• 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).
