Hello vishi,

Is there any other way to do it...

Yes! The simplest way is to replace this line in the original:

$hash{ $comp } = $bug_num;

[download]

with this:

push @{ $hash{ $comp } }, $bug_num;

[download]

The value corresponding to each hash key is now a reference to an anonymous array containing the bug numbers as its elements.

Of course, this doesn’t eliminate duplicates. For that, you could use the uniq function (also called distinct) in List::MoreUtils.

Update: Added quote.

Hope that helps,
