Re: Trying to remove duplicate rows using hashes

Offtopic, sorry, I'm sure an actual answer will be along very shotly.

You don't really use any of these ... Why load them?

use English;
use FileHandle;
use Exception;
[download]

Oh, I have an actual answer I guess. It seems you're stomping on your $k2 with your second each() call...

oh - well i guess I just cut and paste those from other scripts - but yes in this instance i guess they are rather redundant. EDIT: what do you mean by the "stomping"?	[reply]

EDIT: what do you mean by the "stomping"? I'm sure others have already answers this... I mean that your second each call is overwriting your $k2 value so your next call to each is operating on the value you replace $k2 with instead of the hashref you mean to have there. Stomping is a colloquial expression, by which I mean to stay "accidentally replacing" or "stepping on." -Paul	[reply]
