Thanks for pointing that out! I knew something was wrong with those numbers, but for the life of me, couldn't figure out what. Tossing in a print statement to check the return value obviously didn't help things :-)
Regarding my sort routine, if you run my updated version (your scores look like the original) on a Perl 5.6.1, you should find that it's the fastest until about 10,000 elements, at which point arhuman's begins to take the lead:
Comparing for 1000 elements
Rate myo st tye ah mc
myo 18.4/s -- -61% -72% -78% -83%
st 46.9/s 154% -- -29% -43% -58%
tye 66.5/s 261% 42% -- -20% -40%
ah 82.7/s 348% 76% 24% -- -25%
mc 111/s 500% 136% 66% 34% --
Comparing for 2500 elements
Rate myo st tye ah mc
myo 7.46/s -- -54% -69% -76% -78%
st 16.3/s 118% -- -32% -47% -51%
tye 24.0/s 222% 48% -- -22% -28%
ah 31.0/s 315% 90% 29% -- -8%
mc 33.5/s 349% 106% 39% 8% --
Comparing for 10000 elements
Rate myo st tye mc ah
myo 1.36/s -- -53% -68% -76% -78%
st 2.88/s 112% -- -33% -49% -55%
tye 4.29/s 214% 49% -- -25% -32%
mc 5.69/s 317% 97% 33% -- -10%
ah 6.34/s 365% 120% 48% 12% --
Perl 5.6 gives rather different results though...

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).
