Phooey. That's what I was afraid of. Thanks for the example, I will do
more research.

The keys for the hash are the ports on a network switch, numbered 1/1,
1/2...1/24,2/1,2/2,...2/24...etc. 1/1, 1/10, 1/2, and 1/20 will all occur.
The utility that I am using to gather the data (snmp) returns these numbers
as 1.1, 1.2 etc, so I do end up with both 1.1 and 1.10 in my hash.

You are right, it solves the problem of the disappearing element (doesn't
help my sort though!). I am probably losing my mind from looking at this
for too long. ;)
