If that's the case, then why not just use the (much simpler, and easier to read) solution from this reply to the orriginal thread...
my %seen =() ;
@unique_array = grep { ! $seen{$_}++ } @non_unique_array ;

Oh my, that is nicer! Well, that's what's great about Perl Monks. I think I may not have understood the thread referred to: I thought there was some issue with this solution where it would fail in some case. If I misunderstood, thanks for setting it straight for me!

Update (Wed Jul 30 2003 18:02 UTC):

So the rendition of this code which can act like a *NIX filter as well as handle input as @ARGV, is (using -l to put a final NL on):

*nixprompt$ perl -le ' my %seen = (); my @ayin = $ARGV[0]? @ARGV : (<STDIN>); chomp @ayin; print join "\n", grep { !$seen{$_}++ } @ayin;'

Beautiful!

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>

to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
