Hello,
Heap::Simple's docs show how to order a heap using <key, value> pairs.

Don't know if this is what you want?
Just a note as you say you are learning Perl. I found it difficult to know
where
in the perldoc to find the info I needed. I found it easier to eventually
use them
after reading the best source, 'Programming Perl'. It is well written and
after reading it, I was able to use the perldocs much better.
