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!

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).
