in reply to Hash Question
The problem is that you are updating your hash every time you see a new line. You need to update the hash conditionally on whether you've already seen the data you're interested in. Try changing your line:
acct{$x} = ($x,$line);To:
$acct{$x} = ($x,$line) unless exists $acct{$x}This way you only update your hash if you've never seen the account number before.
