do { my $discard = <$inFH> };
I don't think Anonymous Monk really wants to discard the first line/record of data (update: that was my first thought, too); it's just an illusion created by the peculiar way he or she declares and pre-initializes the $line variable prior to entering the while($line){ ... } loop in the OPed code. Note also the odd way the next $line of data is read at the end of the while-loop in that code.
Update: I must also express my preference for the use of List::Util::uniq() (which used to be in List::MoreUtils — and still is!) rather than the explicit grep-ing to a hash that you're doing: it seems to express intent much more clearly for little or no cost.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
