Your code does not run and has a lot of errors, anyway, if I understand your code correctly, here's something that will work for you.

use Data::Dumper;

# note that you do not need to explicitly fill in the 
# elements of the array one by one, make use of
# perl's lists.
 
my @lite = (
    [qw/2 5 0 999 999 0/],
    [qw/4 3 0 999 999/],
    [qw/1 4 0 999 999/],
    [qw/1 4 0 999 999/],
    [qw/4 1 0 999 999/]
);

my %h;

foreach (@lite) {
    # construct a key made of the X value x the Y 
    # value and count on that being uniq.
    my $xy = $_->[0] . 'x' . $_->[1];

    # hash keys are uniq,
    # so we make the value an array reference 
    # containing the original x and y values.
    $h{$xy} = [$_->[0], $_->[1]];
}

# just retrieve the values from the hash.
my @filtered = values %h;

print Dumper(\@filtered);
