in reply to Remove duplicate key value pair in hash

By definition keys cannot be duplicate. Keys are always unique (or they are not keys).

If you happen to have two records with the same key, then one will always have to overwrite the other.

A program should be light and agile, its subroutines connected like a string of pearls. The spirit and intent of the program should be retained throughout. There should be neither too little or too much, neither needless loops nor useless variables, neither lack of structure nor overwhelming rigidity." - The Tao of Programming, 4.1 - Geoffrey James
