[MacPerl] using one array to sort another

[cetasix@pop.erols.com]

I have an array @comp_array which is sorted in the following manner:

1
1.1
1.1.p.1
1.1.1
1.1.2
1.1.3

I would like to use the above arrangement to sort the following associative
array called @names

1.1.2|||Jeff||Alexander
1|||Joe||Alexander
1.1.p.1|||Claudia||Alexander
1.1|||Nathan||Alexander
1.1.3|||Herb||Alexander
1.1.1|||Bob||Alexander

The end result I would like to have is an array @results to be:

1|||Joe||Alexander
1.1|||Nathan||Alexander
1.1.p.1|||Claudia||Alexander
1.1.1|||Bob||Alexander
1.1.2|||Jeff||Alexander
1.1.3|||Herb||Alexander

Any ideas?

Thanks.
