in reply to What is %_

At risk of a spot of necromancy - I've just been handed a use of %_:

    @list = grep { ! $_{$_} } @list;

It's neat because it's self contained. Although it does seem to leave some namespace pollution as a result

    If you want to use this "unique" construction multiple times, it'll break if you don't clean up %_ afterwards.

    So its neat for a one liner, in every other situation I'd rather prefer an explicit my %seen or importing uniq from List::MoreUtils .

    Btw your code does nothing, you forgot the ++ part.

    @list = grep { !$_{$_}++ } @list;
