Hello monks!

I have this sub, that takes a cgi param and splits it up into a list of hashes:

sub extractPartTuplesFromURL
  {
    my $cgi = shift;
    my @partTuples = $cgi->param('partID');
    
    @partTuples = map { my @t = split(','); 
                        {id=>$t[0],
                         version=>$t[1],
                         classification=>$t[2]} 
                      } @partTuples;

    return \@partTuples;
  }

What I need to do is get rid of the duplicates bassed on "id", or better yet, prevent them from getting in my list to begin with.

I'm sure I could slug through this, but everything I've come up with is very clunky, and I'm sure there is a more "monkish" way to do it.

Thoughts? Thanks!

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).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
