  I'm doing some perl scripts, but I need to sort an associative
  array but I want to sort it with the value of each register,
  I mean, if i have,

      $xs{"aaa"} = 4;
      $xs{"bbb"} = 5;
      $xs{"ccc"} = 2;

   I want to get the following results after the sort..

		bbb	5
		aaa	4
		ccc	2

   Any body has a good procedure to do that?

   Thank's in advance..
