cmp is a string comparison. You probably want to sort numerically on the
uid. So replace 'cmp' with '<=>'

foreach my $sorted ( sort { $HoH{$a}->{"uid"} <=> $HoH{$b}->{"uid"} } keys %HoH)
{
print STDOUT "$HoH{$sorted}\n"
}

and all I get out is:

perl sort.pl
HASH(0x89de3d0)
HASH(0x8a05d40)
[snip]

$HoH{$sorted} is a reference to a hash. $HoH{$a}{uid} (or in
long hand $HoH{$a}->{"uid"}) should print out the uid numbers.
