I am trying to get unique elements in an array. The tricky part is I have a all_array that has values from 2 arrays a1 and a2. I push all the values into all_array. I have the dbids of records in Clearquest in the array. I get field value of the name using the dbids and then I have to find unique values of the names and push the corresponding dbids into an unique array. I have tried the following 
$seen();
foreach $id (@all_array){  
got the name using the id to $name
push (@uniquearray, $id) unless $seen{name}++;}

But this does not seem to be doing what I need. Could any one suggest a way to accomplish this? Thanks
