Hello monks!

I have this sub, that takes a cgi param and splits it up into a list of hashes: 

sub extractPartTuplesFromURL
  {
    my $cgi = shift;
    my @partTuples = $cgi->param('partID');
    
    @partTuples = map { my @t = split(','); 
                        {id=>$t[0],
                         version=>$t[1],
                         classification=>$t[2]} 
                      } @partTuples;

    return \@partTuples;
  }

What I need to do is get rid of the duplicates bassed on "id", or better yet, prevent them from getting in my list to begin with.

I'm sure I could slug through this, but everything I've come up with is very clunky, and I'm sure there is a more "monkish" way to do it.

Thoughts? Thanks!
