File::Sort

Description

Sort a file or merge sort multiple files

This module sorts text files by lines (or records). Comparisons are based on one or more sort keys extracted from each line of input, and are performed lexicographically. By default, if keys are not given, sort regards each input line as a single field. The sort is a merge sort. If you don't like that, feel free to change it.
