Just to explain what chargrill does here :
# Create a lookuptable to store found items
my %hash = ();
# Iterate over the data-array (thats what grep does here), and add the
+ item to newdata, and set the found item in the lookup table. When th
+e new item is in the lookup table, don't add it again.
my @newdata = grep { ! $hash{ $_->{operation} . $_->{machine} }++ } @$
+data;
# more readable than grep (to my opinion,probably not to all others :)
+ ), but basically the same:
my %hash = ();
my @newdata;
foreach my $item (@{$data}) {
if (! $hash{ $item->{operation} . $item->{machine} } ) {
$hash{ $item->{operation} . $item->{machine} } = 1 ;
push @newdata, $item;
}
}

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).
