If you just need to check for the presence of a duplicate, something like this will do the trick: sub has_dup { my %seen; $seen{$_}++ && return 1 for @_; } Of course, all the hash-based methods depend on uniqueness being determined by the stringified version of the array elements. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
