Idiom #113 Iterate over map entries, ordered by values

Print each key k with its value x from an associative array mymap, in ascending order of x.
Multiple entries may exist for the same value x.

for my $k (sort {($mymap{$a}<=>$mymap{$b}) or ($a cmp $b)}
           keys %mymap) {
   print "$k: $mymap{$k}\n";
}

For a one-off, put the comparison in a code block.
Assuming the keys are strings, we use <=> to compare the numeric values, and cmp to use the lexical order of the key as a tie breaker.
sub by_val_then_key {
    return ($mymap{$a} <=> $mymap{$b})
        or ($a cmp $b)
}

for my $k (sort by_val_then_key keys %mymap) {
   print "$k: $mymap{$k}\n";
}

Create a custom, reusable sort routine and use it by name.
Assuming the keys are strings, we use <=> to compare the numeric values, and cmp to use the lexical order of the key as a tie breaker.
