May be this helps

perl -lne "print if  ++$D{$_} == 1" address.txt
You may prefer the cuteness of

  perl -lne "print unless $D{$_}++" address.txt
Or the shortness of:

     perl -ne'$D{$_}++||print' address.txt

Actually this

  perl -n'${$_}||=print'

works as well as long as the last line in the file either does end with a newline or doesn't match any builtin variable whose default value is already true.

One more keystroke down.

$ perl -c -n'$D{$_}++||print'
Unrecognized switch: -$D{$_}++||print  (-h will show valid options).
