Current Perl documentation can be found at perldoc.perl.org. Here is our local, out-dated (pre-5.6) version: First you extract the keys from the hashes into arrays, and then solve the uniquifying the array problem described above. For example:
%seen = ();
for $element (keys(%foo), keys(%bar)) {
$seen{$element}++;
}
@uniq = keys %seen;
Or more succinctly:
@uniq = keys %{{%foo,%bar}};
Or if you really want to save space:
%seen = ();
while (defined ($key = each %foo)) {
$seen{$key}++;
}
while (defined ($key = each %bar)) {
$seen{$key}++;
}
@uniq = keys %seen;
