Noticed the `++` in `!$seen{$_}++`? `perl -MData::Dumper -e '@a=(1, 2, 1, 2, 3); my @result = grep { !$seen +{$_}++ } @a; print Dumper(\%seen);' $VAR1 = { '1' => 2, '3' => 1, '2' => 2 };` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]

The `++` is evaluated for every item in `@a`, grep only checks its return value and picks (or not picks) the element based on that value.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

`$seen{4} = 3` means that 4 has been seen 3 times. Unless I state otherwise, all my code runs with strict and warnings	[reply] [d/l]
