I have a list of file names such as the following:
20070911.pdf
20070918.pdf
I'm doing a regex search to pull out the year, month, day and sorting like so:
sort {$b->[3] <=> $a->[3] || $b->[1] <=> $a->[1] || $b->[2] <=> $a->[2
+]}
map {$_ =~ m/(\d\d\d\d)(\d\d)(\d\d).pdf/;[$_, $1, $2, $3]}
@files
However the sort is choking (not sorting numerically) since it doesn't know how to deal with numbers like 01, 02, etc. Is there anyway in my regex to include just the number suffix if it's prefixed by a 0? (otherwise if it's not prefixed by a 0 include the prefix such as 12). I was messing around with (?<=..) extension, but I wasn't getting the results I needed. Any help would be truly appreciated and I hope my question was clearly defined.
Thanks in advance.

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).
