Off the cuff, if I am understanding you right
tie(my %cal, etc, etc, etc) or die "Cant tie cal: $!\n";
tie(my %addr, etc, etc, etc) or die "Cant tie addr: $!\n";
@sorted_cal_keys = sort { $a <=> $b } keys %cal;
@sorted_adrr_keys = sort { $a cmp $b } keys %addr;
You didnt specify any particular relation between the 2 data sets, so there is no better way to correlate them at this point. You cant sort on both sets at the same time unless you're key's name maps to its data structure.. ala
tie(my %cal, etc) or die "cal: $!\n";
tie(my %addr, etc) or die "addr: $!\n";
$cal{"cal_$key"} = $cal_value;
$addr{"addr_$key"} = $addr_value;
# later
for ( sort { $a <=> $b || $a cmp $b } keys %cal, keys %addr) ) {
if (m/^cal/) { # its from the calendar
} elseif ( m/^addr_/ ) { # from the address book
} else { # where did this come from?
}
}
use perl;

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).
