Sort a Hash by Values routine?<br />
<br />
I'm writing a routine that interprets a Log file.<br />
I'm saving the info about browsers in a hash and wish to show the Top-20 Browsers.<br />
Like: &nbsp; &nbsp;Mozilla/4.77 &nbsp; would be a log entry ,key, for netscape with perhaps the value of '50'.<br />
<br />
My dumb problem:<br />
Once I have a hash full of browser names as key, and how many hits for each in values.....what then? &nbsp;What is an elegant way to find the top-20 ???<br />

Perl is a high-level, general-purpose, interpreted, dynamic programming languages with over 25 years of development. Perl 5 runs on over 100 platforms from portables to mainframes and is suitable for both rapid prototyping and large-scale development projects.  Perl gained widespread popularity as a Common Gateway Interface (CGI) scripting language, in part due to its regular expression and string parsing abilities. In addition to CGI, Perl is used for graphics programming, system administration, network programming, finance, bioinformatics, and other applications.
