Hi.

I ended up solving the problem in quite a weird way.. The following is the code I used.

#!/usr/bin/perl

open(ONE, 'one.db') or die "$!";
@one = <ONE>;
close(ONE);

open(TWO, 'two.db') or die "$!";
@two = <TWO>;
close(TWO);

open(LOGS, '>logs.db') or die "$!";

foreach $i (@one) {
chomp($i);

@res = grep(/$i/,@two);

if($#res == 0) { print "Success for $i\n"; }

elsif($#res > 0) {
print "Repetition found for $i\n";
print LOGS "\nRepetition found for $i";
}

}

close(LOGS);

print "\n\nProcess Terminated!";

It stores the file into two lists, and if it finds more than 1 match for any of the emails in the first list, in the second list, it will write it to a log file, and then i'll be able to remove it manually.

It works super fast and really well! :) And it's not case sensitive! (which is good) :)
