Of course TMTOWTDI (variation on tachyon's theme, really): sub unique_merge {
my ( %hash ) = map {$_ => 1 } @_ ;
return keys %hash
}
my @array1 = qw(a b c d e) ;
my @array2 = qw(c d e f) ;
my @merged_array = unique_merge(@array1, @array2) ;
Hashes may only have one key per value, so the task becomes how to get make a hash out of an array (or two). Using map I turn the arrays into key/value pairs (the value is not so important) and then ask for the keys back.

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).
