Perl hashing problem



Hi all,

I have a problem with 2 hash tables in perl:

My first table contains <long files names> <size in byte>
As it comes without ordering on sizes, I want to sort it
in another hash table, so I make:
@New_Table = sort { $File_Table{$a} cmp $File_Table{b} } keys %File_Table;

but when I print both tables on the screen, New_Table is empty, why ??!
(I took it from a book, and also test it with '<=>' instead of 'cmp',
 but I'm still stuck)

Any help will be greatly appreciated.
