It is better to test for existence when you want to know if some key is already in a hash. It's faster and it avoids the automatic creation of an entry (autovivification).
Also, the use of unless is often rather hard to comprehend, the meaning of
if (! exists $seen{$item})
is clearer.

The two lines adding $item to %seen and @uniq both do the same thing, keeping one record of each item seen.

Does that answer your question?

you could do this with a lot less code:

my %seen;
$seen{$_} = 1 for (@proc_name1);
