Heres a not very tight implementation, but it should make clear whats going on:
{
my %hash = (
'Ask' => 1,
'Bob' => 1,
'Cat' => 1,
'amy' => 1,
'ben' => 1,
'can' => 1,
);
print join "\n", sort case_sorter keys %hash;
}
sub case_sorter {
my $first_a = substr $a, 0, 1;
my $first_b = substr $b, 0, 1;
if ( ($first_a eq uc($first_a)) && ($first_b eq uc($first_b)) ) {
return $a cmp $b;
}
elsif ( $first_a eq uc($first_a) ) {
return 1;
}
elsif ( $first_b eq uc($first_b) ) {
return -1;
}
else {
return $a cmp $b;
}
}

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).
