Here's what I ended up with for extracting uniques and sorting. I know it can be further simplified, but my non-programmer brain can somewhat grok it as is. Thanks again, all!
cheers,
ybiC
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
my $infile = shift;
my $outfile = shift;
my %seen;
open (IN, "<$infile") or die "Can't open $infile RO: $!";
open (OUT, ">$outfile") or die "Can't open $outfile RW: $!";
foreach my $item (<IN>) { # parse $infile into a hash and remove
+ duplicate keys
++$seen{$item};
}
print OUT sort keys %seen; # sort keys and save to $outfile
close IN or die "Cannot close $infile: $!";
close OUT or die "Cannot close $outfile: $!";

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).
