I was trying to build an array of hashes and the code goes like this. 
          foreach my $network (@filtered_networks) {

            my $href;
            $href->{node}           = $node->{hostname};
            $href->{port}           = $network->{interface};
            unless ($href ~~ @ret_array) {
            push (@ret_array, $href);
            }
          }

The perl version is 5.14 which supports "~~" But still it wont remove the duplicate entries. My dumper looks like: 
2501 Return array is $VAR1 = {
2502           'node' => 'cst-2554A-004-05',
2503           'port' => 'e0b'
2504         };
2505 $VAR2 = {
2506           'node' => 'cst-2554A-004-05',
2507           'port' => 'e0b'
2508         };
2509 $VAR3 = {
2510           'node' => 'cst-2554A-004-05',
2511           'port' => 'e0a'
2512         };

Please help me in understanding what obvious mistake I am making. Thanking in advance.
