I think that you're mistaken—say (as opposed to print) provides it for me.
Oops, right
but then I would have had to point out that sort { $a <=> $b } 1..10 could be replaced by just 1..10,
That wouldn't demo how to sort 10 after 9 rather than before 2.
That wasn't my goal, largely because I'm not sure what you mean.
The OP suspected that hashes keys are always strings and that stringification of the keys was the cause of his problem.
Hash keys are always strings (except for magical hashes), but that's not the cause of his problem. Perl treats the number zero and the string zero identically (except for its bitwise operators).
(I'm sure you know that. It's for the OP's benefit.)

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).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
