[Chicago-talk] Using a hash in a regex

Just to be clear. I have a bunch of files in a directory. The filename
has within it (somewhere) a key(word) like: "income". I need to
sequence these files in a specified order. So I use a hash like:
%h = (... income=> 13 ...); # the ... are not Perl
Then I glob my directory and get a filename like:
$filename = "bank statements used for income.pdf"
So I change the filename to be:
"13.bank statements used for income.pdf"
And then I'm onto the next file
Thanks
