I meant association in a looser sense than you mention above. For the first set, you're associating passwords with their respective users. In the second set, you're associating the given values with their type ("joe" is the "id" for this user). As for the uniqueness condition, I agree that it's useful, but not a hash's intended use. Incidentally, I think that the following loop uses less memory:
my %unique;
$unique{$_} = undef foreach @list;
@list = keys %unique;
due to the undef being shared amongst all of the keys of the hash. That may be an urban legend that I heard somewhere, though. ;)

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
