That's easy.  It re-orders it as "loop".  :-)

To see the difference between "loop" and "loop", one has to
be in the loop.  Or loopy.  :-)

Anyway, to satisfy the sceptics (and, of course, for ObPerl)
here is a one-liner that shows the difference, using sort():

    || % perl -le '$, = ", "; @x = qw(loop loop); \
    ||      &ps(@x); &ps(reverse @x); sub ps {print sort @_}'
    || loop, loop
    || loop, loop
    || %

Clearly, sort() swaps "loop" with "loop" in the first
invocation, but in the second invocation, "loop" already
precedes "loop".  :-)
