Hi people..
I'm populating an array, which I then use in a foreach statement to print into an html table.
The issue I have is that I'm getting duplicates in the array, so basically I want to check if the item exists in the array and then only add the new record if it doesn't exist.
I've tried turning the array into a hash, which works, but it seems to be a waste of time to drop the array into a hash every single time I need to check it.
if ($server eq 'lsrch1') {
my %params = map { $_ => 1 } @lsrch1;
if(! exists($params{$string})) {
push (@lsrch1, $string);
}
}
Is there a quicker, more efficient way to do it? I suspect using grep would be even slower.
Thanks all

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).
