I have a list of 15,000+ items in a tab separated list. I am putting
all the values into an array, and I need to look through all $array[0]
for duplicates and am not sure how to proceed. Help?
Whenever you think of frequency, or duplicates, or unique values, think of
using a hash.
The basic idea is:
for (LIST) {
$frequency{$_}++;
}
and now your %frequency hash tells you how many times a particular element
in the LIST was seen.
perldoc -q duplicate
Once you've looked that over and come up with some code, show us and
we'll guide you from there.
