In the latest perlfunc.pod for `sort`: In list context, this sorts the LIST and returns the sorted list value. In scalar context, the behaviour of L<C<sort>|/sort SUBNAME LIST> is undefined. This has been an open issue for almost a decade: https://github.com/perl/perl5/issues/12803. The conversation went on for a while, Yves produced a patch, the patch couldn't be applied because 5.18 was going to be released, and then there were a bunch more comments. It would be nice if behavior which can be defined actually gets defined. Best,Ovid-- IT consulting, training, specializing in Perl, databases, and agile developmenthttp://www.allaroundtheworld.fr/.
