hi peoples,

Lets say i had the following hash:

%test = (
1 => belgium
5 => brazil
8 => france
)

Is there a way to sort those elements and grab the value(in this case country) of the lowest numeral key ? Basically , since 1 is the lowest number, i want it's value , which is belgium. I've been able to sort them, but i have no idea how to sort, then grab just the value. Thanks

%test = (
1 => belgium ,
5 => brazil ,
8 => france ,
) ;


foreach(sort keys %test){

print $_ , $test{$_};

}

Cheers,

Outputs:
The city is brazil



--mark

That prints each one, not just the element with the lowest key number.

Sorry, I missed this point
