Re: finding unique items in an array, from a text file

hiya - looks a bit overcomplicated, should be really simple. IMHO you don't need @lines, @uniq and %seen... only need one hash to do this.

I'd prefer to do something like this (off the top of my head, code not tested):

# open the file into FH

my %uniq;
$uniq{$_} = 1 while (<FH>);
print join "\n", keys %uniq;

# close the file

Hope that helps. All the best.
