Greetings,
Though I would suggest strongly that you consider using a hash, here is something you can do after your pushes to de-dup your data.
Leave out the unless, since that works fine, and run the following after.

my @non_duplicates = do{
    #lets use a hash since we want unique values
    #and localize it so its a fresh copy
    local %_;

    #undef the values of this localized hash
    #while assigning your values as keys
    undef @_{@{$map{$$row[1]}{$$row[2]}}};

    #call keys on the hash to get a list of your
    #unique values
    keys %_;
}
#assign our unique list back to your original structure.
$map{$$row[1]}{$$row[2]} = \@non_duplicates;

Hope that helps

• 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.
