My solution DOES work (as does Mr. Dixon's modification).  EACH TIME a
field is encountered, I check to see if its %dup value is 1 or not.  If
the value is NOT 1, I delete it from the hash.

>>     if ($dup{field} == 1) { $vend{$field} = $value }

This is only true the FIRST time the field is seen.  And 'field' should be
$field.  My apologies.

>>     else { delete $vend{$field} }

This happens ALL other times $field is encountered.
