Hi Monks, I'm struggling with getting a unique list printed out within an Array of Hashes. I have a small example that shows baseball players that played for a team. I'm trying to get each player to show only once per team as follows:

$VAR1 = {
          'MARINERS' => [
                          'GRIFFEY',
                          'PEREZ'
                        ],
          'REDS' => [
                      'GRIFFEY',
                      'PEREZ',
                      'ROSE',
                      'BENCH'
                    ],
          'PHILLIES' => [
                          ROSE'
                        ]
        };

However, what I end up getting is:

$VAR1 = {
          'MARINERS' => [
                          'GRIFFEY',
                          'PEREZ'
                        ],
          'REDS' => [
                      'GRIFFEY',
                      'GRIFFEY',
                      'PEREZ',
                      'ROSE',
                      'BENCH'
                    ],
          'PHILLIES' => [
                          'ROSE',
                          'ROSE'
                        ]
        };

The sample code I have is:

use strict;
use constant DEBUG => 2;

my $team;
my $player;
my %teamAccts;
my %teamAcctsUniq;
my $teamAccts;
my $teamAcctsUniq;

while (<DATA>) {
        chomp;

        if ( (/^T:/) ){
                $team = (split /:/) [1];
        }


        if ( (/^P:/) ) {
                $player = (split /:/) [1];
                push( @{$teamAccts{$team}}, $player);
        }

}


my %seen;
@$teamAcctsUniq = grep { ! $seen{$_->{player}}++ } @$teamAccts;

#print Dumper(\%teamAccts);
print Dumper(\%teamAcctsUniq);
__DATA__
