I'm still experimenting with the HoA from a couple of days ago. I just realized there is the possibility for having duplicate elements of the array. How do I prevent that?

Thanks,
Mike

#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;

use Data::Dumper::Simple;

my %HoA;

while (my $line = <DATA>){
    chomp $line;
    my ($prod, $flavor) = split ' ', $line, 2;
    push @{ $HoA{ $prod } }, $flavor;
}

for my $i ( keys %HoA ) {
    print "$i -- @{ $HoA{$i} }\n";
}


warn Dumper (\%HoA);

__DATA__
jelly strawberry
jelly apple
jelly pear
jelly grape
jelly pear
jam strawberry
jam apple
jam apple

milk plain
