GDSII high level read methods

ISAI student has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hello all. i am trying to read a GDSII and remove double instances (two shapes with the same layer type and XY coordinates). I saw in CPAN that it has high level write methods, but no high level read methods. What I would like is to get the full shape type data when reading, perform a certain function, and based on it's output, high level print it to anothwer file or not. All I saw was low level read functions. Any ideas?
