First, the link is wrong. Throwing something in square brackets isn't magic. Try [cpan://Tie::Array::Unique].

Second, he just said "remove", not "remove duplicates".

Now, join me in a caffeine hit, and we'll call it a morning :)

Update: Sorry, Japhy, you're right about the duplicates. I went and had that caffeine, and it seems to have helped.

Cheers,

First, I had "cpan://" at first, and then thought it looked wrong, so I removed the "//". I did check to make sure the link to my home node was correct, but I didn't check the CPAN link.

Second, I was providing a solution to the OP's second request: I'm sure there's some library function to remove a given element from an array, I just don't know the name. Anybody else know? And what about a function to remove duplicates from an array?

Given the fact that I posted that node at 4:00am EDT, I'm not sweating it.
