Okay, I need help! :) Here is my code so far. What I want to do is send all the unique values in %eslist to a text file. eslist has numbers in it ranging from 1 to 5 digits. I've tried variations on getting eslist into a uniqe file but none of them work so I'm not including them here because I think they are completely wrong and just confusing me. Thanks for any help or direction you can give me.
use strict;
use warnings;

my %eslist;

open(inFile, "< C:\\input.txt")
  || die "Unable to open file - $!\n";

open( OUTFILE, "> C:\\output.txt" )
  || die "Unable to open write file! - $!\n";

while(<inFile>) {
    my @record = split /\|/, $_;
    my $tn     = $record[0];
    my $err    = $record[1];
    my $ent    = $record[2];
    %eslist    = ($record[3] => 1);
    my $coid   = $record[4];

    
}
close inFile;
close OUTFILE;
