Re^8: Get just the unique value

Sure, the end result is that $data only holds the unique values: From this:

my $data = [
   {
 
     'type' => 'Paper'
   },
   {

     'type' => 'Paper'
   },
   {

     'type' => 'Plastic'
   },   {

     'type' => 'Plastic'
   },   {

     'type' => 'Plastic'
   },   {

     'type' => 'Plastic'
   },
   {

     'type' => 'Cotton'
   },
   {

     'type' => 'Cotton'
   },
   {

     'type' => 'Cotton'
   },
   {

     'type' => 'Cotton'
   },
   {

     'type' => 'Cotton'
   },
{

     'type' => 'Paper'
   },
{

     'type' => 'Paper'
   },
{

     'type' => 'Paper'
   },
{

     'type' => 'Paper'
   },
{

     'type' => 'Paper'
   },

];

To that:

 $data = [
   {
 
     'type' => 'Paper'
   },
  {

     'type' => 'Plastic'
   },
   {

     'type' => 'Cotton'
   },
 
];
