I think there might be a couple of problems with your code.
- You join the output with \ns but you did not chomp the input so you will get extra blank lines.
- Hash keys are unordered so the line order of the original file will be scrambled. This may or may not be an issue.
The grep solutions suggested might be better if line order is to be preserved. Something like (again, not tested).
...
my %seen = ();
print grep ! $seen{ $_ } ++, <$fh>;
...

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).
