And just for the fun of it:

use strict   ;
use warnings ;

my @clean_data ;
my %track_hash ;

while( <DATA> ) { 
    s/\s+$//         ;
    my $to_track ;
    ( $to_track = ( split( /\s+/ ) )[1] ) ? push( @clean_data, $_ ) : 
+next ;
    delete( $clean_data[ $track_hash{ $to_track } ] ) if( defined( $tr
+ack_hash{ $to_track } ) ) ;
    $track_hash{ $to_track } = $#clean_data ;
}

@clean_data = map( { ( $_ ) ? $_ : () }  @clean_data ) ;

foreach ( @clean_data ) { 
    print "$_\n";
}

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
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).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
