As this question very much looks like homework to me, let me iterate that this is not a script writing service. Learning Perl and programming, whether for homework or for furthering your knowledge works best in my experience if you first have a try at solving the problem yourself. If you have already tried solving the problem yourself, it helps us help you better if you show us what you tried and where you found problems with your approach. That way, we can tailor our answers towards your needs and expand the section where we see your error.
If you haven't tried anything yourself, start by reading sort and splice. I'm not sure why you would want to use splice at all.

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).
