in thread to avoid redundacy in a file
This won't do exactly as the AM wants - some lines will be duplicate to the user, but not to Perl:
$ more file.txt N AB TX NC AB N TX NC FOO BAR N AB TX NC $ perl test.pl file.txt N AB TX NC AB N TX NC FOO BAR
The first two lines of the file.txt file are "the same" to the user, but not to your program. zejames' solution works to the AM's needs, as it creates an unique key for the hash, based on the AM's definition of a duplicate.
