dear fellows;

our c++ teacher taught that strings are the strength of any unix bash, well he reffered to the art of unix programming by eric raymond and meant that text streams are easily put toqether.

well i would love to come up with a perl one-line, which prints out a sorted list of words from any textfile.
i got rid of special characters and lowercased everything, but didn't know how to sort the new stuff so i used sort and uniq in the shell, but i'm still getting duplicate entries: 

 
perl -ne '$_ =~ s/\W/ /g;$_=~ s/\s+/\n/g;print lc' textfile |uniq|sort
