I guess I wasnt reading very carefully wrt why you were using it,
it reminded me of

============================================================
Log::Log4perl Recipe of the Week (#14):



in which case it might be appropriate, since sorted structures are 
easier to eyeball for expected values,
and for diffs vs other copies of the same logfiles.

while were at it,

$Data::Dumper::Indent = 1;

is a 'better' format than the default: 2,  which indents based on the 
string-length of the keys, and can
thus look kinda ragged when a hash has

$h = { 'shortkeys' => [
                                    1,
                                    2
                                    ],
            
'really-long-key-names-which-result-in-data-sensitive-indents'  => [
                                                                        
                                                        1,
                                                                        
                                                        2,
                                                                        
                                                 ],
};


but, since that was a user recipe, and not a function, this might reduce 
to Tip #14-a
