    Doesn't work for things that don't survive a round trip through stringification, such as references.

      18...I knew there was a shorter way

      $a = [1,2,3]; $b = [3,4,5]; $c = [6,7,8]; @test = unique($a,$b,$c,$a,$b); use Data::Dumper; print Dumper \@test; sub unique { #23456789012345678 @_{@_}=@_;values%_ }
