Another way to do it:
use strict;
use warnings;
my %data;
map {chomp $_->[2]; $data{$_->[0]}{$_->[1]}{$_->[2]} = ''} [split /\s+
+/]
for <DATA>;
$data{$_->[0]}{$_->[1]}{$_->[2]} = '' for map [split], <DATA>;
for my $num (reverse sort keys %data) {
print "$num\t$_\t", (join ",", keys %{$data{$num}{$_}}), "\n"
for keys %{$data{$num}};
}
__DATA__

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).
